(1) This regulation applies for the purposes of determining when a person is to be treated as controlled by another person for the purposes of paragraph 16H(1)(b) and (c) of Schedule 5 to the 2015 Act (meaning of turnover for purposes of paragraphs 16A and 16C: investigatory powers in relation to the production of information). (2) A person is to be treated as controlled by another person (“A”) when— (a) the person is a body corporate in which A has a controlling interest, (b) the person is a body corporate, and A is able to control directly or indirectly, or materially influence, the policy of that body corporate without having a controlling interest in that body corporate, (c) the person is a partnership or an unincorporated association or body, and A (whether or not A is a member of that partnership, association or body) is able to control directly or indirectly, or materially influence, the policy of that partnership, association or body, or (d) the person is a sole trader, and A is able to control directly or indirectly, or materially influence, the policy of that sole trader in carrying on the activities of their business. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), A has a controlling interest in a body corporate if A— (a) is a parent undertaking of that body corporate within the meaning of section 1162 of the Companies Act 2006 (parent and subsidiary undertakings), or (b) would be a parent undertaking of that body corporate within the meaning of that section if A were an undertaking within the meaning of section 1161 of that Act (meaning of “undertaking” and related expressions), and the reference in paragraph (2)(b) to A not having a controlling interest is to be construed accordingly. (4) For the purposes of paragraph (3), subsections (2)(c) and (4)(a) of section 1162 of the Companies Act 2006 are to be disregarded.

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.
