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

151Y Diminishing shared ownership arrangements : further provision

(1) Diminishing shared ownership arrangements are not treated as a partnership for capital gains tax purposes. (2) If, under diminishing shared ownership arrangements, the financier grants a lease of the asset to the customer, the grant or termination of the lease is not to be treated as a disposal or acquisition of part of the asset for the purposes of this Act so far as it applies for capital gains tax. (3) If, under diminishing shared ownership arrangements, the financier is entitled to the asset as a result of the customer breaching an obligation under the arrangements— (a) the financier’s dealings with the asset for the purpose of enforcing or giving effect to the entitlement, and (b) the dealings with the asset of any person appointed for that purpose, are to be treated for the purposes of this Act so far as it applies for capital gains tax as if they were done through the financier, or (as the case may be) the appointed person, as nominee by the customer. (4) In this section— “the asset” means the asset in which beneficial interest is acquired and disposed of under the diminishing shared ownership arrangements; “the customer” and “the financier” have the same meaning as in section 151K or 151KA; “termination”, in relation to a lease, has the meaning given by section 70YI of CAA 2001.

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.
