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

1041 Section 1040: effect of entitlement to profits

(1) The seller's interest as a shareholder in the purchaser's group is not taken to be substantially reduced if— (a) the seller would, if every member of the group distributed all its profits available for distribution immediately after the purchase (including any profits received by it on a distribution by another member), be entitled to a share of the profits of one or more of them, and (b) the new entitlement exceeds 75% of the old entitlement. (2) In subsection (1)— “the new entitlement” means the share, or the aggregate of the shares, mentioned in subsection (1)(a), expressed as a fraction of the aggregate of the profits available for distribution of every member of the group which is— a relevant company, or a 51% subsidiary of a relevant company, and “the old entitlement” means the corresponding fraction immediately before the purchase. (3) Subsections (2) to (5) of section 1038 apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of section 1038(1).

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.
