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

753 Treatment of non-trading losses

(1) A company that has a non-trading loss on intangible fixed assets for an accounting period may claim to have the whole or part of the loss set off against the company's total profits for that period. (2) Such a claim must be made— (a) not later than the end of the period of 2 years immediately following the end of the accounting period to which it relates, or (b) within such further period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow. (3) To the extent that the loss is not, in any period (“the reference period”)— (a) set off against total profits on a claim under subsection (1), or (b) surrendered by way of group relief under Part 5 of CTA 2010, it is carried forward to the next accounting period of the company and treated as if it were a non-trading loss on intangible fixed assets for that period. (4) But subsection (3) does not apply if the company ceased to be a company with investment business in the reference period. (5) In the application of subsection (3) to an amount of a loss previously carried forward under that subsection, the reference in paragraph (b) to group relief under Part 5 of CTA 2010 is to be read as a reference to group relief for carried-forward losses under Part 5A of that Act. (6) In this section “company with investment business” has the same meaning as in Part 16 (see section 1218B).

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.
