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.

700 Relationship of this Part to Part 5: loan relationships

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company is a party to a loan relationship because of a derivative contract, and (b) in accordance with this Part, a profit or loss accrues to the company on the contract for an accounting period (“the derivative profit or loss”). (2) The general rule is that this Part does not apply to the derivative profit or loss if— (a) an amount representing the derivative profit or loss, or (b) an amount representing the profit or loss accruing to that company on the contract, is brought into account for that period for the purposes of Part 5 otherwise than because of section 574. (3) But in a case where section 585 (loan relationships with embedded derivatives) applies, the general rule does not apply so far as— (a) the derivative profit or loss accrues from the rights and liabilities mentioned in section 585(1)(b) (rights and liabilities under derivative financial instruments or equity instruments), and (b) that profit or loss is dealt with in accordance with that section and this Part.

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.
