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.

357BG Finance income

(1) For the purposes of this Part “finance income”, in relation to a trade of a company, means— (a) any credits which are treated as receipts of the trade by virtue of— (i) section 297 of CTA 2009 (credits in respect of loan relationships), or (ii) section 573 of CTA 2009 (credits in respect of derivative contracts), (b) any amount which in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice falls to be recognised as arising from a financial asset, and (c) any return, in relation to an amount, which— (i) is produced for the company by an arrangement to which it is a party, and (ii) is economically equivalent to interest. (2) In subsection (1)— “economically equivalent to interest” is to be construed in accordance with section 486B(2) and (3) of CTA 2009, and “financial asset” means a financial asset as defined for the purposes of generally accepted accounting practice. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(c), the amount of a return is the amount which by virtue of the return would, in calculating the company's chargeable profits, be treated under section 486B of CTA 2009 (disguised interest to be regarded as profit from loan relationship) as profit arising to the company from a loan relationship. But, in calculating that profit for the purposes of this subsection, sections 486B(7) and 486C to 486E of that Act are to be ignored.

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.
