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

875 Effect of application of section 874 in later period and subsequently

(1) A credit or debit that is required to be brought into account under section 874 is treated as arising at the beginning of the later period (“the relevant time”). (2) If section 874(2) applies, the tax written-down value of each resulting asset at the relevant time is— ( WDVE + C ) × AV TAV where— WDVE is the tax written-down value of the original asset at the end of the earlier period, C is the credit, AV is the accounting value of the resulting asset in question at the relevant time, and TAV is the sum of the accounting values of all the resulting assets at the relevant time. (3) If section 874(3) applies, the tax written-down value of each resulting asset at the relevant time is— ( WDVE - D ) × AV TAV where— WDVE, AV and TAV have the same meaning as in subsection (2), and D is the debit. (4) After the relevant time the cost recognised for tax purposes for each resulting asset is taken to be the sum of— (a) the tax written-down value given by subsection (2) or, as the case may be, subsection (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 for each resulting asset 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.
