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.

776 Meaning of “tax-neutral” transfer

(1) This section sets out the consequences of a transfer of an asset being “tax-neutral” for the purposes of this Part. (2) The transfer is treated for those purposes as not involving— (a) any realisation of the asset by the transferor, or (b) any acquisition of the asset by the transferee. (3) The transferee is treated for those purposes— (a) as having held the asset at all times when it was held by the transferor, and (b) as having done all such things in relation to the asset as were done by the transferor. (4) In particular— (a) the original cost of the asset in the hands of the transferor is treated as the original cost in the hands of the transferee, and (b) all such credits and debits in relation to the asset as have been brought into account for tax purposes by the transferor under this Part are treated as if they had been brought into account by the transferee. (5) The references in subsection (4)(a) to the cost of the asset are to the cost recognised for tax purposes.

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.
