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.

(1) This section applies if a— (a) company UK REIT or a member of a group UK REIT disposes of an asset used wholly and exclusively for the purposes of property rental business, and (b) the company UK REIT or any member of the group UK REIT holds the proceeds in cash. (2) Profits or losses arising from a loan relationship entered into in connection with the proceeds— (a) are to be ignored for the purposes of section 599 (calculation of profits), and (b) are to be treated for all tax purposes as arising from a loan relationship entered into in connection with residual business. (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4) For the purposes of this section proceeds are held in cash if— (a) held on deposit (whether or not in sterling), (b) invested in stocks or bonds of any of the descriptions included in Part 1 of Schedule 11 to FA 1942 (gilts), or (c) held or invested in such other form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may specify for the purposes of this section in regulations. (5) In the case of the disposal of an asset which, for one or more periods of (in total) at least a year, has been used— (a) partly for the purposes of property rental business of the company, and (b) partly for the purposes of residual business of the company, this section applies to such part of the proceeds as may reasonably be attributed to the property rental business (having regard to the extent to which, and the length of the periods during which, the asset was used for the different purposes). (6) This section also applies to proceeds held in cash by a company on a disposal of an asset so far as section 535A secures that the appropriate proportion of a gain or loss accruing on the disposal is not a chargeable gain or allowable loss.

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.
