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

718 GAAP-compliant accounts: reference to consolidated group accounts

(1) In determining whether a company's accounts are GAAP-compliant, reference may be made to any view about— (a) the useful life of an asset, or (b) the economic value of an asset, taken for the purposes of consolidated group accounts prepared for any group of companies of which the company is a member. (2) This section does not apply if the consolidated group accounts— (a) are drawn up using a different accounting framework from that used for the company's individual accounts, and (b) as a result are prepared on a basis that, in relation to the matters mentioned in subsection (1), substantially diverges from the basis used in the company's individual accounts. (3) This section does not apply so far as the consolidated group accounts are prepared— (a) in accordance with the requirements of the law of a country outside the United Kingdom, and (b) on a basis that, in relation to the matters mentioned in subsection (1), substantially diverges from generally accepted accounting practice.

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.
