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

873 Effect of application of section 872 in later period and subsequently

(1) A credit or debit that is required to be brought into account under section 872 is treated as arising at the beginning of the later period (“the relevant time”). (2) If a credit is to be brought into account, the tax written-down value of the asset at the relevant time is the sum of— (a) the tax written-down value of the asset at the end of the earlier period, and (b) the credit. (3) If a debit is to be brought into account, the tax written-down value of the asset at the relevant time is— (a) the tax written-down value of the asset at the end of the earlier period, less (b) the debit. (4) After the relevant time the cost recognised for tax purposes is the sum of— (a) the tax written-down value given by subsection (2) or (3), and (b) the cost recognised for tax purposes of any subsequent expenditure on the asset that is capitalised for accounting purposes. (5) After the relevant time the tax written-down value is determined taking account only of subsequent credits and debits.

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.
