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

(1) This section applies where— (a) a company transfers its business to some or all of the shareholders of the company, and (b) a claim for disincorporation relief in respect of the transfer has been made under section 58 of the Finance Act 2013. (2) The disposal and acquisition of any qualifying asset of the business included in the transfer is to be deemed to be for a consideration equal to the lower of— (a) the sums allowable under section 38 as a deduction in the computation of the gain accruing to the company on the disposal of the asset in question, and (b) the market value of the asset. (3) In subsection (2) a “qualifying asset” means— (a) goodwill, or (b) an interest in land which is not held as trading stock. (4) But subsection (2) does not apply to the goodwill of the business if section 162C applies to it.

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.
