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

857 Deemed market value or arm’s length acquisition: adjustment where nil or negligible accounting value

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company is treated for the purposes of this Part as acquiring an asset at market value or by reference to the arm’s length provision, but (b) the accounting value of the asset transferred is nil , or a negligible value, in the hands of the transferee. (2) In such a case any reference in this Part to— (a) the cost of the asset recognised for accounting purposes, (b) the accounting value of the asset, or (c) any loss recognised for accounting purposes in respect of capitalised expenditure on the asset, is a reference to the cost, value or loss that would have been recognised if the asset had been acquired at market value or (as the case may be) by reference to the arm’s length provision. (3) If the asset is revalued, the revaluation is ignored. (4) In this section “revaluation” has the same meaning as in section 723 (see subsection (5) of that section) and “revalued” must be read accordingly.

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.
