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

741 Abnormal dividends: the excessive return condition

(1) The excessive return condition is that the dividend substantially exceeds a normal return on the consideration provided by the recipient for the relevant securities. (2) In this section “the relevant securities” means- (a) the securities in respect of which the dividend was received, and (b) if those securities are derived from securities previously acquired by the recipient, the securities that were previously acquired. (3) In determining whether an amount received by way of dividend exceeds a normal return, regard must be had— (a) to the length of time before its receipt that the recipient first acquired any of the relevant securities, and (b) to any dividends paid and other distributions made in respect of them during that time. (4) If— (a) the consideration provided by the recipient for any of the relevant securities exceeded their market value at the time the recipient acquired them, or (b) no consideration was so provided, for the purposes of subsection (1) consideration equal to that market value is taken to have been so provided.

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.
