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

915 UK resident companies: proceeds of sale received in instalments

(1) This section applies if a company liable for tax under section 912— (a) is UK resident, and (b) receives the proceeds of sale in instalments. (2) The appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable in respect of each instalment is taxed— (a) in the accounting period in which the company receives the instalment (“the period of receipt”), and (b) in successive accounting periods, until the expiry of the 6-year period beginning at the start of the period of receipt. (3) The appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable in respect of an instalment is the same fraction of that amount as the accounting period in question is of 6 years (or, in the last period, such smaller fraction of the amount as has not already been taxed). (4) The company may elect that the whole of any instalment is to be taxed instead in the period of receipt. (5) An election under subsection (4) must be made within the two-year period beginning at the end of the period of receipt.

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.
