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.

As published

974 Charge to tax under this Chapter

(1) The charge to corporation tax on income applies to income treated under subsection (2) as arising from foreign holdings. (2) Income is treated as arising from such holdings in the following cases. (3) The first case is where a bank's office in the United Kingdom— (a) pays over the proceeds of a sale or other realisation of taxable dividend coupons in respect of the holdings which has been effected by the bank, or (b) carries such proceeds into an account. (4) The second case is where proceeds of sale arise from a sale of taxable dividend coupons in respect of the holdings by a person who is not a bank or a dealer to a person dealing in coupons in the United Kingdom. (4A) For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) a dividend coupon is “taxable” if the associated dividend would not have been exempt for the purposes of Part 9A (company distributions) had it been paid to the holder of the shares. (5) The amount of the income that is treated as arising is equal to the proceeds of the sale or realisation. (6) In this section “bank” has the meaning given by section 1120 of CTA 2010.

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.
