(1) This section applies, in the case of a company that is being wound up, in relation to profits of the company arising in its final year (see subsections (2) to (5)) or its penultimate year (see subsections (6) and (7)). (2) The rate of corporation tax to be applied in assessing, before the winding up of the company is completed, the corporation tax chargeable on the profits of the company arising in the winding up in its final year is to be determined in accordance with subsections (3) to (5). (3) If the main rate of corporation tax has been fixed for the final year, that fixed rate is to be applied. (4) If the main rate of corporation tax has been proposed (but not yet fixed) for the final year, that proposed rate is to be applied. (5) If the main rate of corporation tax has been neither fixed nor proposed for the final year, the rate fixed or proposed for the penultimate year is to be applied. (6) Subsection (7) applies if— (a) the winding up of the company started before the company's final year, and (b) an assessment to corporation tax is made at a time when the main rate of corporation tax for the company's penultimate year is proposed (but not yet fixed). (7) The rate of corporation tax proposed for the penultimate year is to be applied in relation to the profits of the company arising in the winding up at any time in that year.

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.
