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.

As published

879B Requirement to write down at a fixed rate

(1) This section applies if a company acquires or creates a relevant asset on or after 1 April 2019. (2) The company is to be treated as having made an election under section 730 to write down the cost of the asset for tax purposes at a fixed rate. (3) In its application in relation to the asset, section 731 (writing down at fixed rate: calculation) has effect as if in subsection (1)(a) for “4%” there was substituted “ 6.5% ”. (4) The Treasury may by regulations amend subsection (3) so as to alter the percentage substituted for 4%.

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.
