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.

As published

436 Balance sheet amounts determined on assumption company has no liabilities

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company owns any plant or machinery at any time on any day (“the relevant day”), (b) for the purpose of determining a question as to the application of Chapter 3 or 4 regard must be had to the amount (if any) which falls (or would fall) to be shown in any balance sheet of the company in respect of the plant or machinery, and (c) condition A or B is met. (2) Condition A is met if, apart from this section, there would be no amount which would fall to be shown in the balance sheet of the company in respect of the plant or machinery. (3) Condition B is met if the amount which, apart from this section, would fall to be shown in the balance sheet of the company in respect of the plant or machinery is less than the amount which would fall to be so shown on the assumption in subsection (4). (4) The assumption is that the company has no liabilities of any kind at any time on the relevant day. (5) For the purpose of determining the question as to the application of Chapter 3 or 4, the amount which falls (or would fall) to be shown in any balance sheet of the company in respect of the plant or machinery is to be determined on the assumption in subsection (4) (as well as on the other assumptions applicable under other provisions of those Chapters). (6) In this section “liabilities” includes any share capital issued by the company which falls to be treated for accounting purposes as a liability. (7) Except for subsection (6), this section applies to a partnership as it applies to a company, and references to “company” are to be read accordingly.

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.

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.
