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

50 Cessation of trades

(1) For the purposes of section 48(3)(c) a trade is to be treated as ceased, and a new trade as started, in any of the following cases— Case 1 A company starts or ceases to be within the charge to corporation tax in respect of a trade. Case 2 There is a change in the persons carrying on a trade which involves all of the persons carrying it on before the change permanently ceasing to carry it on. Case 3 There is a change in the persons carrying on a trade and— immediately before the change, the trade is carried on by persons who include a company, and after the change, no company that carried on the trade in partnership immediately before the change continues to carry it on in partnership. Case 4 There is a change in the persons carrying on a trade and— immediately before the change, no company carries on the trade in partnership, and immediately after the change, the trade is carried on in partnership by persons who include a company. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to subsections (3) and (4). (3) A trade is not to be treated as ceased if the change in the persons carrying on the trade is a transfer to which Chapter 1 of Part 22 applies (transfers of trade without a change of ownership). (4) In determining if there is a change in the persons carrying on a trade, subsection (1) is subject to the following rules— Rule 1 A husband and wife are treated as the same person. Rule 2 Individuals who are civil partners of each other are treated as the same person. Rule 3 A husband or wife is treated as the same person as— a company of which either of them has control, or a company of which both have control. Rule 4 An individual's civil partner is treated as the same person as— a company of which either of the civil partners has control, or a company of which both have control. (5) In subsection (4) “control” has the same meaning as in section 450.

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.
