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

169VV “Trading company” etc

(1) In this Chapter “trading company” and “the holding company of a trading group” have the same meaning as in section 165 (see section 165A). (2) For the purposes of this Chapter a company is not to be regarded as ceasing to be a trading company, or the holding company of a trading group, merely because of anything done in consequence of— (a) the company, or any of its subsidiaries, being in administration or receivership, or (b) a resolution having been passed, or an order made, for the winding up of the company or any of its subsidiaries. (3) But subsection (2) applies only if— (a) the entry into administration or receivership, or the resolution or order for winding up, and (b) everything done as a result of the company concerned being in administration or receivership, or as a result of that resolution or order, is for genuine commercial reasons and is not part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax.

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.
