Propose a change

Corporation Tax Act 2010

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

1036 Determining the period of ownership

(1) If at any time during the period mentioned in section 1035(1) the shares were transferred to the seller by a person (“the transferor”) who— (a) was then the seller's spouse or civil partner, and (b) was then living with the seller (see section 1116), any period during which the shares were owned by the transferor is treated for the purposes of section 1035(1) as a period of ownership by the seller. (2) But subsection (1) does not apply if at the date of the purchase the transferor is alive but is no longer the seller's spouse or civil partner living with the seller. (3) If the seller became entitled to the shares under the will or on the intestacy of a previous owner, or is the personal representative of a previous owner— (a) any period during which the shares were owned by the previous owner, or the personal representatives of the previous owner, is treated for the purposes of section 1035(1) as a period of ownership by the seller, and (b) section 1035(1) has effect as if it referred to three years instead of five.

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.
