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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

169B Gifts to settlor-interested settlements etc

(1) Neither section 165(4) nor section 260(3) shall apply in relation to a disposal (“the relevant disposal”)— (a) made by a person (“the transferor”) to the trustees of a settlement, and (b) in respect of which Condition 1 or Condition 2 below is satisfied. (2) Condition 1 is that, immediately after the making of the relevant disposal,— (a) there is a settlor (see section 169E) who has an interest in the settlement (see section 169F), or (b) an arrangement (see section 169G) subsists under which such an interest will or may be acquired by a settlor. (3) Condition 2 is that— (a) a chargeable gain would (assuming that neither section 165(4) nor section 260(3) applied in relation to the relevant disposal) accrue to the transferor on that disposal, (b) in computing the gain, the allowable expenditure would to any extent fall to be reduced in consequence, directly or indirectly, of a claim under section 165 or 260 in respect of an earlier disposal made by an individual (whether or not to the transferor), and (c) immediately after the making of the relevant disposal,— (i) that individual has an interest in the settlement, or (ii) an arrangement subsists under which such an interest will or may be acquired by him. (4) This section is subject to section 169D (exception for maintenance funds for historic buildings and certain settlements for disabled persons).

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.
