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

900E Special rule: section 900B case

(1) This section applies in respect of a restricted asset of a company if it is a restricted asset by reason of section 900B. (2) If the company was the first company to acquire the asset on or after 1 July 2020, the relevant Chapters of this Part have effect as if the company acquired the asset at no cost. (3) If the company was not the first company to acquire the asset on or after 1 July 2020, the relevant Chapters of this Part have effect as if the company acquired the asset for the adjusted amount. (4) The adjusted amount is— A − B where— A is the amount of consideration— for which the company actually acquired the asset, or if different, for which it would (ignoring this section) be treated for the purposes of the Taxes Acts as having acquired the asset, and B is the market value of the asset on the date it was first acquired by a company on or after 1 July 2020. (5) Where B is greater than A the adjusted amount is nil. (6) In this section— “market value”, in relation to an asset, means the price the asset might reasonably be expected to fetch on a sale in the open market, and “the relevant Chapters of this Part” means— Chapter 3 (debits in respect of intangible fixed assets), Chapter 15 (adjustments on change of accounting policy), and Chapter 5 (calculation of tax written-down value) in so far as it has effect for the purposes of Chapters 3 and 15.

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.
