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

865 Debits for expenditure not generally deductible for tax purposes

(1) No debit may be brought into account for tax purposes under this Part in respect of expenditure that is not generally deductible for tax purposes. (2) Expenditure is “not generally deductible for tax purposes” so far as revenue expenditure of that description incurred for the purposes of a trade would be non-deductible because of a provision specified in subsection (3). (3) Those provisions are— (a) section 56 (car ... hire), (b) section 1298 (business entertainment and gifts), (c) section 1304 (crime-related payments), and (d) section 246(2) of FA 2004 (expenditure on benefits under employer-financed retirement benefits schemes).

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.
