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

155B Certain mortgage arrangements not within sections 154 and 155

(1) Arrangements entered into by a company which, apart from this section, would be arrangements within section 154(3) or 155(3) are not to be treated as such arrangements if and so long as— (a) the arrangements are a mortgage, secured by way of shares or securities in the company, which on default or the happening of any other event allows the mortgagee to exercise its rights against the mortgagor, and (b) the mortgagee has not exercised its rights against the mortgagor. (2) This section does not apply if the mortgagee— (a) possesses greater rights in respect of the shares or securities which are the subject of the mortgage than it requires to protect its interest as mortgagee, or (b) could alone or together with connected persons dictate the terms or timing of the default or the happening of any other event which allows it to exercise its rights against the mortgagor. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b) the mortgagee is not, by reason only of the mortgage, connected with a company whose shares or securities are the subject of the mortgage. (4) In this section— “connected” has the same meaning as in section 1122; “mortgage” means— in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland, any legal or equitable charge, and in Scotland, any right in security, (and section 1166(1) (definition of “mortgage”: Scotland) does not apply).

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.
