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.

(3) The ascribed value of plant or machinery to which this subsection applies is the higher of— (a) the market value of the plant or machinery at the relevant time, and (b) the present value at that time of the lease referred to in subsection (2). (4) Subsection (5) applies to plant or machinery if— (a) it is subject to a plant or machinery lease at the relevant time, (b) the lease is an equipment lease within the meaning of Chapter 14 of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (fixtures), (c) the relevant company or partnership is the equipment lessor in respect of the lease (see section 174 of that Act), and (d) the equipment lessor is treated at that time as the owner of the plant or machinery by virtue of an election made in reliance on section 177(1)(a)(i) of that Act (which permits elections if the conditions in section 178 are met in relation to the lease). (5) The ascribed value of plant or machinery to which this subsection applies is the present value at the relevant time of the lease referred to in subsection (4). (6) The ascribed value of plant or machinery to which neither subsection (3) nor subsection (5) applies is the market value of the plant or machinery at the relevant time.

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.
