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

877 Election for fixed-rate writing down in relation to resulting asset

(1) This section applies if— (a) the change of accounting policy results in an intangible fixed asset of the company that was treated as one asset (“the original undivided asset”) in the earlier period being treated as two or more assets (“the resulting assets”) in the later period, and (b) no election under section 730 (writing down at fixed rate: election for fixed-rate basis) has been or is subsequently made in respect of the original undivided asset. (2) An election under that section may be made in respect of any of the resulting assets. (3) But such an election may be made only within the period during which such an election could have been made in relation to the original undivided asset. (4) The effect of the election is that— (a) the original undivided asset is treated as if it had at all material times consisted of as many assets (“notional original assets”) as there are resulting assets, (b) each notional original asset is taken to be the same asset as one of the resulting assets (its “corresponding resulting asset”), (c) the appropriate proportion of every amount falling to be taken into account in relation to the original undivided asset is attributed to each of the notional original assets, and (d) this Part applies in relation to each of the notional original assets and its corresponding resulting asset accordingly. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4)(c) the appropriate proportion of every amount falling to be taken into account in relation to the original undivided asset that is to be attributed to each notional original asset is found by reference to the notional original asset's corresponding resulting asset. (6) The appropriate proportion in relation to each resulting asset is— AVL TAVL where— AVL is the accounting value of that resulting asset at the beginning of the later period, and TAVL is the sum of the accounting values of all the resulting assets at the beginning of that period.

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.
