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.

1066 Exception for certain transfers between UK resident companies

(1) Section 1064 does not apply if the company and the participator are both UK resident and— (a) one is a 51% subsidiary of the other or both are 51% subsidiaries of a third company which is also UK resident, and (b) the benefit to the participator arises on a transfer of assets or liabilities— (i) by the company to the participator, or (ii) to the company by the participator, or in connection with such a transfer. (2) In determining whether one body corporate (“A”) is a 51% subsidiary of another (“B”) for the purposes of subsection (1), B is treated as not being the owner of— (a) any share capital which it owns directly in a body corporate as trading stock, (b) any share capital which it owns indirectly, and which is owned directly by a body corporate as trading stock, or (c) any share capital which it owns directly or indirectly in a body corporate that is not UK resident. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) share capital owned by a body is owned as trading stock if (and only if) a profit on the sale of the shares would be treated as a trading receipt of the body's trade.

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.
