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.

723 Changes in indirect ownership

(1) This section applies if there is a change in the ownership of a company, other than a change in ownership which is disregarded because of section 724 or 724A . (2) The reference in subsection (1) to a change in the ownership of a company includes a change in ownership occurring as a result of the application of this section. (3) If condition A in section 719 is met, the person mentioned in that condition is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having acquired at the time of the change in ownership any relevant assets owned by the company. (4) If condition B in section 719 is met but condition A is not, each of the persons mentioned in condition B is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having acquired at the time of the change in ownership the appropriate fraction of any relevant assets owned by the company. (5) In a case not falling within subsection (3) or (4), each of the persons mentioned in condition C in section 719 (other than any person whose holding is disregarded for the purposes of that condition) is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having acquired at the time of the change in ownership the appropriate fraction of any relevant assets owned by the company. (6) In this section— “the appropriate fraction”, in relation to one of two or more persons mentioned in subsection (4) or (5), means— X Y where— X is the percentage of the ordinary share capital acquired by that person, and Y is the percentage of that capital acquired by all those persons taken together, and “relevant assets”, in relation to a company, means— any ordinary share capital of another company, and any property or rights which under section 721 or 722 may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital of another company.

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.
