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.

As published

459 Loan treated as made to participator

(1) This section applies if under arrangements made by a person (P)— (a) a close company makes a loan or advance which, apart from this section, does not give rise to a charge to tax under section 455, and (b) a person other than the close company makes a payment or transfers property to, or releases or satisfies (in whole or in part) a liability of, a relevant person who is a participator in the company or an associate of such a participator. (2) Sections 455 to 458 and 464ZA and 464ZB apply as if the loan or advance had been made to the relevant person. (3) But this section does not apply if— (a) the arrangements mentioned in subsection (1) are made by P in the ordinary course of a business carried on by P, or (b) the total income of the relevant person includes, in respect of the matter mentioned in subsection (1)(b), an amount not less than the loan or advance. (4) If a company (C) controls another company (D), a participator in C is to be treated for the purposes of this section as being also a participator in D.

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.
