(2) The sum is treated as the income of the settlor for the tax year so far as the amount of the sum falls within the amount of income available up to the end of the year. (3) The sum is treated as the income of the settlor for the following year so far as the amount of the sum— (a) is not treated under subsection (2) as the settlor's income for the tax year in which it is paid, and (b) falls within the amount of the income available up to the end of the following year. (4) Subsection (3) also applies for each subsequent year up to a maximum of 10 years subsequent to the tax year in which the sum is paid. (5) For this purpose the reference in subsection (3)(a) to being treated under subsection (2) as the settlor's income for the tax year in which the capital sum is paid is a reference to being treated under subsection (2) or (3) as the settlor's income for that year and any other year before the subsequent year in question.

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.
