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.

151C Strips: manipulation of price: associated payment giving rise to loss

(1) This section applies if— (a) as a result of any scheme or arrangement which has an unallowable purpose, the circumstances are, or might have been, as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 449(2) of ITTOIA 2005, (b) under the scheme or arrangement, a payment falls to be made otherwise than in respect of the acquisition or disposal of a strip, and (c) as a result of that payment or the circumstances in which it is made, a loss accrues to any person. (2) The loss shall not be an allowable loss. (3) For the purposes of this section a scheme or arrangement has an unallowable purpose if the main benefit, or one of the main benefits that might have been expected to result from, or from any provision of, the scheme or arrangement (apart from section 449 of ITTOIA 2005 and this section) is— (a) the obtaining of a tax advantage by any person, or (b) the accrual to any person of an allowable loss. (4) The reference in subsection (1)(b) to the acquisition or disposal of a strip shall be construed as if it were in Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (profits from deeply discounted securities) (see, in particular, sections 437 and 445 of that Act for the meaning of “disposal” and “acquisition” and section 444 of that Act for the meaning of “strip”). (5) In subsection (3)(a) “tax advantage” has the meaning given by section 1139 of CTA 2010. (6) This section applies to losses accruing on or after 17th March 2004.

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.
