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

269ZYB Provisional application of section 269ZYA

(1) This section applies in relation to a company and an accounting period if— (a) the conditions in section 269ZYA(3)(a) and (b) are met in relation to the accounting period, and (b) the company’s tax return for the accounting period is delivered before the end of the financial year in which the accounting period falls (“the relevant financial year”). (2) The company may make a declaration in the return for the accounting period that— (a) at all earlier times in the relevant financial year— (i) the company had no source of chargeable income (see section 269ZYA(2)), and (ii) if the company is a member of a group, each other member of the group had no source of chargeable income, and (b) the person intends to make a claim under section 269ZYA(3) in respect of the accounting period. (3) Until the declaration ceases to have effect, section 269ZYA has effect as if the company had made a claim under that section. (4) The declaration ceases to have effect if— (a) it is withdrawn, (b) it is superseded by a claim made under section 269ZYA, or (c) the company or, if the company is a member of a group, another member of the group, acquires a source of chargeable income before the end of the relevant financial year. (5) So far as not previously ceasing to have effect under subsection (4), the declaration ceases to have effect two years after the end of the accounting period in respect of which it is made. (6) If the declaration ceases to have effect, all necessary adjustments must be made, by assessment, amendment of returns or otherwise. (7) Subsection (6) applies despite any limitation on the time within which assessments or amendments may be made.

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.
