74D Meaning of “qualifying film expenditure” for purposes of sections 74ZA and 74A

(1) For the purposes of sections 74ZA and 74A expenditure is qualifying film expenditure if— (a) it is deducted under a relevant film provision for the purposes of calculating the profits of a trade, or (b) it is incidental expenditure which (although not deducted under a relevant film provision) is incurred in connection with the production of a film, or the acquisition of the original master version of a film, in relation to which expenditure is so deducted. (2) Expenditure is incidental if it is on management, administration or obtaining finance. (3) The extent to which expenditure is within subsection (1)(b) is determined on a just and reasonable basis. (4) For the purposes of sections 74ZA and 74A the amount of any loss that derives from qualifying film expenditure is determined on a just and reasonable basis. (5) In this section— “the acquisition of the original master version of a film” has the same meaning as in Chapter 9 of Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 (see sections 130 and 132 of that Act), “film” is to be read in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985, and “a relevant film provision” means any one of sections 137 to 140 of ITTOIA 2005 (relief for certified master versions of films).

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.
