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

941 The ownership condition

(1) The ownership condition is that— (a) on the transfer of the transferred trade or at some time during the period of two years beginning immediately after the transfer, a 75% interest in the transferred trade belongs to certain persons, and (b) at some time during the period of one year ending immediately before the transfer, a 75% interest in the transferred trade belonged to the same persons. (2) In subsection (1) references to a 75% interest are to an interest amounting to a share of at least 75%. (3) If at any time the activities of the transferred trade are actually included in the activities of another trade, for the purposes of subsection (1) interests in the transferred trade at that time are determined by reference to interests in the other trade. (4) Accordingly, a person who has an interest in the other trade at that time is taken to have a corresponding interest in the transferred trade. (5) For the purposes of this section— (a) if two or more companies carry on a trade, the interests in the trade belonging to them are taken to correspond to the shares of the trade's profits to which they are entitled, and (b) an interest in a trade belonging to trustees (otherwise than for charitable or public purposes) is treated as belonging to the persons for the time being entitled to the income under the trust. (6) If a company is carrying on a trade, the interest in the trade belonging to the company may be treated in accordance with any of the options set out in section 942(1) if that results in the ownership condition being met. (7) In determining for the purposes of this section the extent to which an interest in a trade belongs at different times to the same persons— (a) the persons from time to time entitled to the income under a trust are treated as a single person, and (b) persons who are relatives of one another are treated as a single person. (8) In subsection (7) “relative” means spouse, civil partner, ancestor, lineal descendant, brother or sister.

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.
