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.

457 Section 456: meaning of “material interest in a company”

(1) A person has a material interest in a company for the purposes of section 456 if condition A or B is met. (2) Condition A is that the person (with or without one or more associates) or any associate of that person (with or without one or more other such associates) is— (a) the beneficial owner of, or (b) directly or indirectly able to control, more than 5% of the ordinary share capital of the company. (3) Condition B is that, in the case of a close company, the person (with or without one or more associates) or any associate of that person (with or without one or more other such associates) possesses or is entitled to acquire such rights as would— (a) in the event of the winding up of the company, or (b) in any other circumstances, give an entitlement to receive more than 5% of the assets which would then be available for distribution among the participators.

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.
