Propose a change

Corporation Tax Act 2009

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

646 Exclusions from section 645

(1) Section 645 does not apply to a derivative contract of a company for an accounting period if condition A or B is met in the period. (2) Condition A is that the rights and liabilities which fall to be treated as comprised in the derivative contract are such that the extent to which shares may be acquired in accordance with them is to be determined using a cash value— (a) which is specified in the contract for the asset representing the creditor relationship mentioned in section 645(2), or (b) which is or will be ascertainable by reference to that contract. (3) Condition B is that the rights and liabilities which fall to be treated as comprised in the derivative contract are such that— (a) the company is entitled or obliged to receive a payment instead of the shares which are the underlying subject matter of the derivative contract, and (b) the amount of that payment differs by more than an insignificant amount from the value of the shares which the company would be entitled to acquire in accordance with those rights and liabilities at the time it became entitled or obliged to receive the payment.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
