(1) This section applies if— (a) a capital sum is paid to the settlor in a tax year by any body corporate connected with the settlement in that year, and (b) an associated payment has been, or is, made directly or indirectly to the body by the trustees of the settlement. (2) The capital sum is, in accordance with this section, treated for the purposes of section 633 as having been paid to the settlor by the trustees of the settlement. (3) A capital sum to which subsection (2) applies is treated as having been paid to the settlor in the tax year in which it is paid so far as the amount of the sum falls within the total of the associated payment or payments made up to the end of the year. (4) A capital sum to which subsection (2) applies is treated as having been paid to the settlor in the following year so far as the amount of the sum— (a) is not treated as paid to the settlor in the year mentioned in subsection (3), and (b) falls within the total of the associated payment or payments made up to the end of the following year (less what was taken into account under subsection (3) in relation to the sum in the previous year). (5) Subsection (4) also applies for each subsequent year. (6) In its application to a subsequent year— (a) the references to the following year are to the subsequent year, (b) the reference to the year mentioned in subsection (3) is to that year and any other year before the subsequent year, and (c) the reference to what was taken into account under subsection (3) in relation to the sum in the previous year is to what was taken into account under this section in relation to the sum in the previous years. (7) See also— section 642 (exception for certain loans or repayments of loans), and section 643 (interpretation of sections 641 and 642).

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.
