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

88 Substitution of new shares for old shares

(1) Subsection (2) applies if, in the case of any new shares held by a company or by a nominee for a company, the old shares for which they were exchanged were shares which had been subscribed for by the company (“the investor”). (2) This Chapter has effect in relation to any subsequent disposal or other event as if— (a) the new shares had been subscribed for by the investor at the time when, and for the amount for which, the old shares were subscribed for by the investor, (b) the new shares had been issued by the new company at the time when the old shares were issued to the investor by the old company, and (c) any requirements of this Chapter which were met at any time before the exchange by the old company had been met at that time by the new company. (3) Nothing in subsection (2) applies in relation to section 195(7) of ITA 2007 as applied by section 79(7) above for the purpose of the definition of “excluded activities”.

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.
