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.

724 Disregard of change in company ownership

(1) A change in the ownership of a company (“the subsidiary company”) is disregarded for the purposes of Chapters 2 to 6 if — (a) immediately before the change in ownership, the subsidiary company is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company (“the parent company”), and (b) although there is a change in the direct ownership of the subsidiary company, the subsidiary company continues after the change to be a qualifying 75% subsidiary of the parent company. (2) For the purposes of this section, the subsidiary company is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of the parent company if conditions A, B and C are met. (3) Condition A is that the subsidiary company is a 75% subsidiary of the parent company. (4) Condition B is that the parent company would be beneficially entitled to at least 75% of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the subsidiary company. (5) Condition C is that the parent company would be beneficially entitled to at least 75% of any assets of the subsidiary company available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding up. (6) Chapter 6 of Part 5 (equity holders and profits or assets available for distribution) applies for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) as it applies for the purposes of section 151(4)(a) and (b).

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.
