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

935 Absolute, limited and discretionary interests

(1) A person has an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate for the purposes of this Chapter if— (a) the capital of the residue or that part is properly payable to the person, or (b) it would be so payable if the residue had been ascertained. (2) A person has a limited interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate during any period for the purposes of this Chapter if— (a) the person does not have an absolute interest in it, and (b) the income from it would be properly payable to the person if the residue had been ascertained at the beginning of that period. (3) A person has a discretionary interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate for the purposes of this Chapter if— (a) a discretion may be exercised in the person's favour, and (b) on its exercise in the person's favour any of the income of the residue during the whole or part of the administration period (see section 938) would be properly payable to the person if the residue had been ascertained at the beginning of that period. (4) For the purposes of this section, an amount is only treated as properly payable to a person (“A”) if— (a) it is properly payable to A, or to another person in A's right, for A's benefit, or (b) A is a personal representative and subsection (5) applies. (5) The personal representatives of a deceased person (“B”) are to be treated as having an absolute or limited interest in the whole or part of the residue of the estate of another deceased person (“C”) if— (a) they have a right in their capacity as B's personal representatives, and (b) were the right vested in them for their own benefit, they would have that interest in C's estate. (6) For the purposes of subsection (4), it does not matter whether the amount is payable directly by the personal representatives or through a trustee or other person.

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.
