(1) If— (a) an individual or company (“the investor”) holds shares in or debentures of a company (“company A”), (b) there is a reconstruction or amalgamation affecting that holding (“the existing holding”), (c) immediately before the reconstruction or amalgamation, CITR is attributable to the shares or debentures included in the existing holding in respect of one or more years of assessment or accounting periods, and (d) the shares or debentures included in the existing holding have been held by the investor continuously from the time they were issued until the reconstruction or amalgamation, sections 135 and 136 (share exchanges and company reconstructions) do not apply in respect of the existing holding. (2) Subsection (1)(a) applies only if the shares or debentures are held by the investor in the same capacity. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1) a “reconstruction or amalgamation” means an issue by a company of shares in or debentures of that company in exchange for or in respect of shares in or debentures of company A. (4) The following provisions of this Act have effect subject to this section— section 116 (reorganisations, conversions and reconstructions), Chapter 2 of Part 4 (reorganisation of share capital, conversion of securities etc). (5) The investor is treated as disposing of any securities or shares which but for subsection (1) the investor— (a) would be treated as exchanging for other securities or shares by virtue of section 136, or (b) would be so treated but for section 137(1) (which restricts section 136 to genuine reconstructions).

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.

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.
