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

714 The expectation condition

(1) The condition mentioned in section 713(1)(d) is that it would be reasonable (apart from section 713) to make the inference specified in subsection (3) from any of the matters specified in subsection (2). (2) Those matters are— (a) the terms of any transactions entered into in connection with the change in the ownership of Y, and (b) the other circumstances of the change and of any such transactions. (3) The inference is that at least one of the transactions mentioned in subsection (2) was entered into by one or more of its parties on the assumption that, if a potential tax liability were to arise, it would be unlikely to be met or to be met in full. (4) A “potential tax liability” is a liability to pay corporation tax which would or might arise— (a) from an assessment, made after the change in ownership, on Y or an associated company (whether or not a particular associated company), and (b) in foreseeable circumstances. (5) Circumstances are “foreseeable circumstances” if— (a) the circumstances were reasonably foreseeable at the time of the change in ownership, or (b) there was a reasonably foreseeable risk at that time that the circumstances might occur. (6) For the meaning of “transaction entered into in connection with change in ownership”, see section 715.

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.
