985 References to a deduction being allowed to a company

(1) References in this Chapter to a deduction being allowed to a company are to be read in accordance with this section (and references to a deduction being made are to be read in that light). (2) If a deduction is allowed to a company, the deduction is made in calculating for corporation tax purposes the profits of a trade or property business carried on by the company. This is subject to subsections (3) and (4). (3) If the company is a company with investment business (as defined in section 1218B), the amount of the deduction is treated as expenses of management of the company. But this subsection does not apply if the company's business is a property business (in which case subsection (2) applies instead). (4) If— (a) the company is a company in relation to which the I - E rules apply, and (b) the expenses are referable, in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 2 of FA 2012, to the company's basic life assurance and general annuity business, the expenses are treated for the purposes of section 76 of that Act as ordinary BLAGAB management expenses of the company. (5) So far as this Chapter provides for a deduction to be allowed, it has effect despite section 53 (no deduction for items of a capital nature in calculating trading profits), including that section as applied by section 210 to the calculation of profits of a property business.

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.
