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

727 References to expenditure on an asset

(1) References in this Part to expenditure on an asset are to any expenditure (including abortive expenditure)— (a) for the purpose of acquiring or creating, or establishing title to, the asset, (b) by way of royalty in respect of the use of the asset, or (c) for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or enhancing, or defending title to, the asset. (2) No account may be taken of capital expenditure on tangible assets in determining for the purposes of this Part the amount of expenditure on an intangible asset. (3) In subsection (2) “capital expenditure” has the same meaning as in CAA 2001. (4) If expenditure is incurred partly as mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) and partly otherwise, any necessary apportionment must be made on a just and reasonable 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.
