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

939FA Clawback of corporation tax relief where donation becomes tainted in later accounting period

(1) This section applies where— (a) a company makes a relievable charity donation in an accounting period (“the donation period”), (b) the donation becomes a tainted donation in a later accounting period (“the tainting period”), and (c) if the donation had become a tainted donation in the donation period, the company’s liability to corporation tax for the donation period would have been greater than it in fact was for that period. (2) The company’s liability to corporation tax for the tainting period is increased by an amount equal to the difference between— (a) the amount of corporation tax for which it would have been liable for the donation period had the donation become a tainted donation in that period, and (b) the amount of corporation tax for which it was in fact liable for the donation period. (3) Section 87A of TMA 1970 (interest on overdue corporation tax etc) has effect in relation to tax for which a company is liable by virtue of subsection (2) as though the tax had become due and payable on the day following the expiry of 9 months from the end of the donation 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.
