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.

723 Revaluation

(1) If in a period of account there is an increase in the accounting value of an intangible fixed asset on a revaluation, a credit must be brought into account for tax purposes. (2) The amount of the credit is the lesser of— (a) the amount corresponding for tax purposes to the increase (see subsection (3)), and (b) the net total of relevant previous tax debits (see subsection (4)). (3) The amount corresponding for tax purposes to the increase is— I × WDV AV where— I is the increase, WDV is the tax written-down value of the asset immediately before the revaluation, and AV is the accounting value of the asset by reference to which the revaluation is carried out. (4) The net total of relevant previous tax debits is— D - C where— D is the total debits previously brought into account for tax purposes in respect of the asset, and C is the total credits so brought into account. (5) For the purposes of this section “revaluation” includes— (a) the valuation of an asset for which a value is shown in the company's balance sheet, but which has not previously been the subject of a valuation, and (b) the restoration of past losses. (6) This section does not apply to an asset in respect of which an election has been made under section 730 (writing down at fixed rate: election for fixed-rate basis).

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.
