447 Restriction of profits on strips by reference to original acquisition cost

(1) This section applies if— (a) a person makes a profit on the disposal of a strip (apart from this section), and (b) the person's original acquisition cost for the strip (see subsection (4)) exceeds the amount that falls to be brought into account as the amount paid by the person to acquire the strip in determining the amount of the profit. (2) If the amount that falls to be brought into account as the amount payable on the disposal in determining the amount of the profit exceeds the person's original acquisition cost for the strip, the amount of the profit is restricted to that excess. (3) Otherwise the person is treated as not making a profit on the disposal. (4) For the purposes of this section and section 448, a person's original acquisition cost for a strip is the amount that falls to be taken into account as the amount paid by the person to acquire the strip in determining whether the person makes a profit or loss on its disposal if 5th April disposals and acquisitions are ignored. (5) In subsection (4) “5th April disposals and acquisitions” means— (a) disposals under section 445(2) (other than the disposal in question), and (b) acquisitions under section 445(3).

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.
