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

46 Use of trade-related interest and dividends if insufficient trade profits

(1) This section applies if in an accounting period a company carrying on a trade makes a loss in the trade and either— (a) relief for the loss could be given in a later accounting period under section 45(4)(b) or 45B(4) but for the fact that there are no profits of the trade of the later accounting period, or (b) the amount of relief for the loss that could be given in a later accounting period under section 45(4)(b) or 45B(4) is limited by reason of the amount of profits of the trade of the later accounting period. (2) For the purposes of section 45 and 45B, Treat any interest or dividends within subsection (3) as profits of the trade of the later period. (3) Interest or dividends are within this subsection if they— (a) are from investments, and (b) would be brought into account as trading receipts in calculating the profits of the trade of the later period but for the fact that they have been subjected to tax under other provisions of the Tax Acts.

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.
