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.

1037 Requirement as to reduction of seller's interest as shareholder

(1) If, immediately after the purchase, the seller owns shares in the company, the seller's interest as a shareholder must be substantially reduced. This is subject to section 1043. (2) If, immediately after the purchase, any associate of the seller owns shares in the company, the combined interests as shareholders of the seller and the seller's associates must be substantially reduced. This is subject to section 1043. (3) The seller's interest as a shareholder is substantially reduced if (and only if) the seller's subsequent interest is not more than 75% of the seller's prior interest. This is subject to section 1038. (4) “The seller's prior interest” means the total nominal value of the shares owned by the seller immediately before the purchase, expressed as a fraction of the issued share capital of the company at that time. (5) “The seller's subsequent interest” means the total nominal value of the shares owned by the seller immediately after the purchase, expressed as a fraction of the issued share capital of the company at that time. (6) The question whether the combined interests as shareholders of the seller and the seller's associates are substantially reduced is determined in the same way as the question whether a seller's interest as shareholder is substantially reduced, except that the seller is assumed to have the interests of the seller's associates as well as the seller's own.

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.
