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

962 Income from which basic amounts are treated as paid

(1) The part of the aggregate income of the estate from which a basic amount is treated as paid is determined by applying assumptions A and B in that order. (2) Assumption A is that if there are different persons with interests in the residue of the estate, payments in respect of their basic amounts are paid out of the different parts of the aggregate income of the estate in such proportions as are just and reasonable for their different interests. (3) Assumption B is that payments are made from those parts in descending order, starting with the income bearing income tax at the highest rate and ending with the income bearing income tax at the lowest rate (subject to subsection (3A)). (3A) For the purposes of assumption B, where those parts include— (a) income bearing income tax at 0% by virtue of section 963(1A), and (b) other income bearing income tax at 0%, payments are to be made from income within paragraph (a) after income within paragraph (b). (4) If some, but not all, of the aggregate income of the estate is income within section 963, assumption C is applied before assumptions A and B. (5) Assumption C is that the basic amount is paid from income that is not within section 963 before it is paid from income within that section. (6) Assumptions A and B then apply— (a) first to determine the part of the income not within that section from which the basic amount is paid, and (b) then to determine the part of the income within that section from which the basic amount is paid.

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.

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.
