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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

740 Abortive expenditure on realisation

(1) This section applies if— (a) in a period of account a loss is recognised in determining the company's profit or loss in respect of expenditure by the company for the purposes of a transaction, (b) the transaction does not proceed to completion, but (c) were it completed, it would constitute a realisation of an intangible fixed asset. (2) A corresponding debit must be brought into account for tax purposes. (3) The amount of the debit is the same as the amount of the loss recognised by the company for accounting purposes. (4) Subsection (3) is subject to any adjustments required by this Part or Part 4 of TIOPA 2010 (provision not at arm's length).

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.
