Propose a change

Finance (No. 2) Act 2023

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

147A Treatment of tax credits

(1) The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group, and the covered tax balance of that member (see Chapter 5), are to be adjusted (if necessary) to secure that— (a) qualifying refundable tax credits are accounted for as income rather than as tax expense, (b) tax credits that are marketable transferable tax credits in relation to the member are accounted for as income rather than as tax expense, and (c) other tax credits are accounted for as tax expense rather than as income. (2) Section 148 sets out when tax credits are qualifying refundable tax credits. (3) Section 148A sets out the meaning of “transferable tax credit” and “marketable transferable tax credit”. (4) Sections 148B and 148C set out rules about the value of marketable transferable tax credits. (5) Sections 176A to 176C (in Chapter 5) set out rules about the value of tax credits that are not marketable transferable tax credits but which are transferable or were transferred (and which as a result of subsection (1)(c) are generally to be accounted for as tax expense). (6) See also sections 176D to 176F which contain special rules for tax credits received in under a tax equity partnership arrangement.

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.
