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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

444 Companies involved with non-close companies

(1) A company is not to be treated as a close company if condition A or B is met. (2) Condition A is that the company— (a) is controlled by one or more companies none of which is a close company, and (b) cannot be treated as a close company except by taking, as one of the 5 or fewer participators requisite for its being so treated, a company which is not a close company. (3) Condition B is that the company— (a) would not be a close company were it not for paragraph (a) of section 439(3) or paragraph (d) of section 450(3), and (b) would not be a close company if the references in those paragraphs to participators did not include loan creditors which are companies other than close companies. (4) References in subsections (2) and (3) to a close company include a company which, if UK resident, would be a close company.

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.
