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.

What to do with it
As published

149 Rights to acquire qualifying shares.

(1) This section applies where on or after 25th July 1991 (the day on which the Finance Act 1991 was passed) a building society confers— (a) on its members, or (b) on any particular class or description of its members, any rights to acquire, in priority to other persons, shares in the society which are qualifying shares. (2) Any such right so conferred shall be regarded for the purposes of capital gains tax as an option granted to, and acquired by, the member concerned for no consideration and having no value at the time of that grant and acquisition. (3) In this section— “member” includes a former member, and “qualifying share” has the same meaning as in section 117(4).

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.
