138 Ceasing to meet trading requirement because of administration or receivership

(1) A company is not regarded as ceasing to meet the trading requirement merely because of anything done in consequence of the company or any of its subsidiaries being in administration or receivership. This has effect subject to subsections (2) and (3). (2) Subsection (1) applies only if— (a) the entry into administration or receivership, and (b) everything done as a result of the company concerned being in administration or receivership, is for genuine commercial reasons, and is not part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax. (3) A company ceases to meet the trading requirement if before the time that is relevant for the purposes of section 134(2)— (a) a resolution is passed, or an order is made, for the winding up of the company or any of its subsidiaries (or, in the case of a winding up otherwise than under the Insolvency Act 1986 or the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989, any other act is done for the like purpose), or (b) the company or any of its subsidiaries is dissolved without winding up. This is subject to subsection (4). (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if — (a) the winding up is for genuine commercial reasons, and is not part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax, and (b) the company continues, during the winding up, to be a trading company. (5) References in this section to a company being “in administration” or “in receivership” are to be read in accordance with section 252.

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.
