What to do with it
As published

818 Company reconstruction involving transfer of business

(1) This section applies if— (a) a scheme of reconstruction involves the transfer of the whole or part of the business of one company (“the transferor”) to another company (“the transferee”), and (b) the transferor receives no part of the consideration for the transfer (otherwise than by the transferee taking over the whole or part of the liabilities of the business), but see subsections (3) to (5). (2) If the transfer includes intangible fixed assets that— (a) are chargeable intangible assets in relation to the transferor immediately before the transfer, and (b) are chargeable intangible assets in relation to the transferee immediately after the transfer, the transfer of those assets is tax-neutral for the purposes of this Part. (3) This section does not apply if the transfer is one to which section 775 (transfers within a group) applies. (4) This section does not apply if the transferor or the transferee is— (a) a qualifying society within the meaning of section 461A of ICTA (incorporated friendly societies entitled to exemption from tax), or (b) a dual resident investing company within the meaning of section 949 of CTA 2010 (dual resident investing companies). (5) This section applies only if the reconstruction meets the genuine commercial transaction requirement (see section 831). (6) In this section “scheme of reconstruction” has the same meaning as it has in section 136 of TCGA.

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.
