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.

What to do with it
As published

1092 Advance clearance of payments

(1) If— (a) a person intending to make a payment applies under this section to the Commissioners, and (b) before the payment is made the Commissioners notify the person that they are satisfied that the payment meets the conditions set out in subsection (2), the payment is not treated as a chargeable payment. (2) The conditions are that the payment— (a) will be made for genuine commercial reasons, and (b) will not form part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax. (3) In subsection (2) “tax” includes stamp duty and stamp duty land tax. (4) A company which— (a) becomes connected with another company, or (b) ceases to be connected with another company, may make an application under subsection (1) with respect to any payments that may be made by it at any time after becoming or ceasing to be connected with the company in question (whether or not there is any present intention to make any payments). (5) If the Commissioners give a notification on an application made by virtue of subsection (4), no payment to which the notification relates is to be treated as a chargeable payment merely because the company is or has been connected with the other company.

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.
