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

52 Dealings in commodity futures

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company makes a loss in a trade of dealing in commodity futures, (b) the company carried on the trade as a partner in a partnership, and (c) a scheme has been effected or arrangements within subsection (3) have been made (whether by the partnership agreement or otherwise). (2) Relief under section 37 is not available for the loss. (3) Arrangements are within this subsection if as a result of them the sole or main benefit that might be expected to arise to the company from the company's interest in the partnership is the obtaining of a reduction in tax liability by means of relief under section 37. (4) If relief is given in a case to which this section applies, the relief is withdrawn by the making of an assessment to corporation tax under this section. (5) “Commodity futures” means commodity futures that are for the time being dealt in on a recognised futures exchange (as defined in section 288(6) of TCGA 1992).

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.
