Propose a change

Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 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.

145 Call options: indexation allowance.

(1) This section applies ... where, on a disposal to which section 53 applies, the relevant allowable expenditure includes both— (a) the cost of acquiring an option binding the grantor to sell (“the option consideration”); and (b) the cost of acquiring what was sold as a result of the exercise of the option (“the sale consideration”), but does not apply in any case where section 114 applies. (1A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) For the purpose of computing the indexation allowance (if any) on the disposal referred to in subsection (1) above— (a) the option consideration and the sale consideration shall be regarded as separate items of expenditure; and (b) subsection (4) of section 54 shall apply to neither of those items and, accordingly, they shall be regarded as incurred when the option was acquired and when the sale took place, respectively. (3) This section has effect notwithstanding section 144, but expressions used in this section have the same meaning as in that section and subsection (5) of that section applies for the purpose of determining the cost of acquiring an option binding the grantor to sell.

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.
