What to do with it
As published

730D Disallowance of deductible amounts: profit transfers

(1) This section applies where arrangements (“the profit transfer arrangements”) are made which result in— (a) an increase in the total profits of C, or of a company connected with C, or (b) a reduction of any loss or other amount for which relief from corporation tax could (disregarding this section) have been given to C or a company connected with C, in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day. (2) A deductible amount that meets conditions D and E may not be brought into account by C, nor any company connected with C, as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day. (3) Condition D is that, on the relevant day, it is highly likely that the amount, or any part of it, would (disregarding this Part) be brought into account by C, or any company connected with C, as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day. (4) Any question as to what is “highly likely” on the relevant day for the purposes of subsection (3) is to be determined having regard to— (a) any arrangements made on or before that day, and (b) any events that take place on or before that day. (5) Condition E is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the profit transfer arrangements is to bring the amount (whether or not together with other deductible amounts) into account as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day. (6) Subsection (7) applies if— (a) (disregarding subsection (7)) subsection (2) would prevent a deductible amount being brought into account by a company as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day, and (b) in the absence of the profit transfer arrangements and disregarding any deductible amounts, the company would have an amount of total profits for that accounting period. (7) Subsection (2) applies only in relation to such proportion of the deductible amount mentioned in subsection (6)(a) as is just and reasonable.

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.
