This is subject to subsection (6). (3) The “relevant day” is 1 July 2013 in a case where— (a) the accounting period begins before 1 July 2021, and (b) the company is a new entrant (see section 357A(11)). (4) The “relevant day” is 1 July 2016 in any other case. (5) A day elected under subsection (2)(b) must not be more than 20 years before the last day of the accounting period. (6) If the last day of the accounting period is, or is after, 1 July 2036 the “relevant period” is the period of 20 years ending with that day. (7) Expenditure incurred by the company is to be treated for the purposes of sections 357BLB to 357BLD as incurred during the relevant period if (and only if) the expenditure is allowable as a deduction in calculating for corporation tax purposes the profits of the trade for an accounting period which falls, in whole or in part, within the relevant period.

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.
