As published

192 Tax exempt distributions.

(1) This section has effect for facilitating certain transactions whereby trading activities carried on by a single company or group are divided so as to be carried on by 2 or more companies not belonging to the same group or by 2 or more independent groups. (2) Where a company makes a distribution which is exempt by virtue of section 1076 of CTA 2010— (a) the distribution shall not be a capital distribution for the purposes of section 122; and (b) sections 126 to 130 shall, with the necessary modifications, apply as if that company and the subsidiary whose shares are transferred were the same company and the distribution were a reorganisation of its share capital. (3) Subject to subsection (4) below, section 179 shall not apply in a case where a company ceases to be a member of a group by reason only of an exempt distribution. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if within 5 years after the making of the exempt distribution there is chargeable payment; and the time for making an assessment under section ... 179 by virtue of this subsection shall not expire before the end of 3 years after the making of the chargeable payment. (5) In this section— “chargeable payment” has the meaning given in section 1088 of CTA 2010; “exempt distribution” means a distribution which is exempt by virtue of section 1076 or 1077 of CTA 2010; and “group” means a company which has one or more 75 per cent. subsidiaries together with that or those subsidiaries. (6) In determining for the purposes of this section whether one company is a 75 per cent. subsidiary of another, the other company shall be treated as not being the owner of— (a) any share capital which it owns directly in a body corporate if a profit on a sale of the shares would be treated as a trading receipt of its trade; or (b) any share capital which it owns indirectly and which is owned directly by a body corporate for which a profit on the sale of the shares would be a trading receipt.

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.
