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.

As published

79 Additional payments

(1) This section applies if the employer permanently ceases to carry on a trade or part of a trade and makes a payment to the employee in addition to— (a) the redundancy payment, or (b) if an approved contractual payment is made, the amount that would have been due if a redundancy payment had been payable. (2) If, in calculating the profits of the trade— (a) no deduction would otherwise be allowable for the additional payment, but (b) a deduction would be allowable for it if the employer had not permanently ceased to carry on the trade or the part of the trade, a deduction is allowed under this section for the additional payment. (3) The deduction under this section is limited to 3 times the amount of— (a) the redundancy payment, or (b) if an approved contractual payment is made, the amount that would have been due if a redundancy payment had been payable. (4) If the payment is made after the employer has permanently ceased to carry on the trade or the part of the trade, it is treated as made on the last day on which the employer carried on the trade or the part of the trade. (5) The deduction under this section is allowed for the accounting period in which the payment is made (or treated under subsection (4) as made).

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.
