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

931Q Schemes involving diversion of trade income

(1) This section applies to a dividend or other distribution that would, apart from this section, fall into an exempt class. (2) The distribution does not fall into an exempt class if— (a) the distribution is made as part of a scheme entered into by the recipient and another relevant person (“C”), (b) if C had received the distribution, it would be reasonable to assume that the distribution would be dealt with under Part 3 (trading income), and (c) the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the scheme is to produce the result that the distribution is dealt with under this Part because it is received by the recipient. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b) it is to be assumed that, in the case of any relevant transaction to which a relevant person other than C is a party, C were that party to that transaction. (4) In this section “relevant transaction” means any of the transactions giving rise to the distribution.

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.
