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

169VU “Subscribe” etc

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter (other than this subsection) a person “subscribes for” a share in a company if— (a) that person subscribes for the share, (b) the share is issued to that person by the company for consideration consisting wholly of cash, (c) the share is fully paid up at the time it is issued, (d) the share is subscribed for, and issued, for genuine commercial reasons and not as part of arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure a tax advantage to any person, and (e) the share is subscribed for, and issued, by way of a bargain at arm's length. (2) In subsection (1) “arrangements” and “tax advantage” have the same meaning as in section 16A. (3) If— (a) an individual (“A”) subscribed for, or is treated under this subsection as having subscribed for, any shares, (b) A transferred the shares to another individual (“B”) during their lives, and (c) A was living together with B as B's spouse or civil partner at the time of the transfer, B is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having subscribed for the shares. (4) Accordingly, for the purposes of this Chapter any period for which A held the shares continuously is to be added to, and treated as part of, the period for which B held the shares continuously. (5) In this Chapter, apart from subsections (3) and (4), references to a person's having subscribed for a share include the person's having subscribed for the share jointly with any other person (and references to a person's holding a share or to a share being issued to a person are to be read accordingly).

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.
