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.

What to do with it
As published

654 Payment instead of disposal on exercise of deemed option

(1) Subsection (2) applies if— (a) the option mentioned in section 652(3) is exercised at any time in the accounting period, (b) no shares are issued or transferred in fulfilment of the obligations under the option, and (c) an amount is paid in fulfilment of those obligations. (2) If — (a) CV exceeds X, a chargeable gain equal to the amount of the excess is treated as accruing to the company in the accounting period, (b) X exceeds CV, an allowable loss equal to the amount of the excess is treated as accruing to the company in the accounting period. (3) In this section— “CV” means— if the company was a party to the debtor relationship mentioned in section 652(2) at the time it was created, the tax-adjusted carrying value of the option at that time, or if the company became a party to that relationship at a later time, the tax-adjusted carrying value of the option at that time, “X” means the amount paid by the debtor in fulfilment of the obligations under the debtor relationship reduced (but not below nil) by the fair value of the host contract at the date on which the option is exercised, and “the host contract” means the loan relationship to which the company is treated as a party under section 415(2) (loan relationships with embedded derivatives) because of the debtor relationship.

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.
