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.

As published

845 Commercial rent: comparison with payments other than rent

(1) Subsection (2) applies— (a) for the purpose of making a comparison under rule 4 of section 838(3) if section 838 has effect because of section 836(1), and (b) for the purpose of making a comparison under section 839(3) if section 839 has effect because of section 836(2). (2) The commercial rent is the rent which might be expected to be paid under a lease, of the land in respect of which the payment mentioned in section 836(1)(b) or (2)(b) is made, which— (a) was negotiated in the open market when the rentcharge or other transaction mentioned in section 836(1)(b) or (2)(b) was effected, (b) is a tenant's repairing lease, and (c) is of an appropriate duration. (3) A tenant's repairing lease is a lease where the lessee is under an obligation to maintain and repair the whole (or substantially the whole) of the premises comprised in the lease. (4) To see whether a lease is of an appropriate duration, take the period over which payments are to be made under the rentcharge or other transaction, and— (a) if that period is 200 years or more (or the obligation to make the payments is perpetual) an appropriate duration is 200 years, or (b) if that period is less than 200 years, an appropriate duration is the same duration as that period.

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.
