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

732 Reversal of previous accounting gain

(1) This section applies if— (a) in a period of account a loss is recognised in determining a company's profit or loss (“the recognised loss”), (b) the loss wholly or partly reverses a gain recognised in a previous period of account (“the reversed gain”), and (c) a credit was brought into account for tax purposes under Chapter 2 (credits in respect of intangible fixed assets) in respect of that gain (“the previous credit”). (2) A corresponding debit must be brought into account for tax purposes. (3) The amount of that debit is— RL × PC RG where— RL is the recognised loss, PC is the previous credit, and RG is the reversed gain. (4) References in this section to the recognition of a loss that reverses a gain recognised in a previous period of account do not include a loss recognised— (a) by way of amortisation of an asset that has previously been the subject of a revaluation, or (b) as a result of an impairment review of such an asset. (5) In subsection (4) “revaluation” has the same meaning as in section 723 (see subsection (5) of that section).

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.
