Propose a change

Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (repealed 6.3.1992)

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

56A Effect on sections 55 and 56 of relief under Finance Act 1980, section 79.

(1) This section applies where— (a) a claim for relief was made under section 126 or 147A below in respect of the disposal of an asset to a trustee, and (b) the trustee is deemed to have disposed of the asset, or part of it, by virtue of section 54(1) or 55(1)(a) above. (2) Sections 56(1)(a) and 55(1)(b) shall not apply to the disposal of the asset or part by the trustee, but any chargeable gain accruing to the trustee on the disposal shall be restricted to the amount of the held-over gain (or a corresponding part of it) on the disposal of the asset to him. (3) Subsection (2) above shall not have effect in a case within section 56(1A) above; but in such a case the reduction provided for by section 56(1A) above shall be diminished by an amount equal to the proportion there mentioned of the held-over gain. (4) In this section “held-over gain” has the same meaning as in section 126 or, as the case may be, 147A below.

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.
