222 Investment entity effective tax rate

The investment entity effective tax rate in a territory for an accounting period is determined by taking the following steps— Step 1 Determine the adjusted profits made by each of the investment entities in the territory, as determined under Chapter 4 and adjusted under section 223. Step 2 Subtract the sum of the losses of those investment entities that made a loss in that period from the sum of the profits of those investment entities that made a profit in that period. Step 3 If the result of Step 2 is nil or less, the investment entity effective tax rate is to be treated as 15%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4. Step 4 Determine the covered tax balance of each such investment entity in accordance with Chapter 5. Step 5 Adjust the amounts determined in Step 4 in accordance with section 223 (to the extent applicable). Step 6 Add together the amounts determined in Step 5 that are adjusted positive covered tax balances. Step 7 Add together the amounts determined in Step 5 that are adjusted negative covered tax balances. Step 8 Subtract the result of Step 7 from the result of Step 6. Step 9 Divide the result of Step 8 by the result of Step 2. This is the investment entity effective tax rate.

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.
