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.

696 Derivative contracts with non-UK residents

(1) This section applies in relation to a company (“A”) if, as a result of any transaction— (a) A becomes a party to a derivative contract to which a non-UK resident (“NR”) is a party, (b) NR becomes a party to a derivative contract to which A is a party, or (c) A and NR both become a party to a derivative contract. (2) For each accounting period for any part of which A and NR are both a party to a derivative contract which makes provision for notional interest payments, the credits and debits which fall to be brought into account in accordance with this Part in respect of the contract in the case of A do not include the amount of any excluded debit in relation to that contract. (3) The amount of an excluded debit is calculated by determining for the accounting period the amount (if any) by which— (a) the sum of any notional interest payments made by A to NR while A and NR are both a party to the contract, exceeds (b) the sum of any notional interest payments made by NR to A during that time. (4) For the purposes of this section, a payment is a notional interest payment if— (a) a derivative contract specifies— (i) a notional principal amount, (ii) a period, and (iii) a rate of interest, (b) the amount of the payment is determined (wholly or mainly) by applying a rate to the specified notional principal amount for the specified period, and (c) the value of the rate is the same at all times as that of the specified rate of interest. (5) This section is subject to section 697.

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.
