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.

What to do with it
As published

491 Scientific research associations

(1) The provisions mentioned in subsection (3) (which confer exemptions) apply in relation to a body which qualifies as a scientific research association for the relevant accounting period as they apply in relation to a charitable company. (2) But in relation to such a body those provisions have effect as if the whole income of the body were applied to charitable purposes. (3) The provisions referred to in subsection (1) are— (a) sections 478 and 479 (profits of charitable trades), (b) section 483 (profits from fund-raising events), (c) section 484 (profits from lotteries), (d) section 485 (property income etc), (e) section 486 (investment income etc), (f) section 488 (certain miscellaneous income), and (g) section 489 (income from estates in administration). (4) In subsection (1) “the relevant accounting period” means the accounting period for which the exemption in question is to be claimed.

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.
