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

1N Section 1M(1): assets acquired in temporary period of non-residence

(1) An asset is excluded from section 1M(1) if— (a) it was acquired by the individual in the temporary period of non-residence, (b) the acquisition was otherwise than by means of a disqualifying no gain/no loss disposal, (c) there is no reduction in the consideration for the acquisition under section 23(4)(b) or (5)(b), 152(1)(b), 153(1)(b), 162(3)(b) or 247(2)(b) or (3)(b) by reference to a UK resident disposal, and (d) the asset is not an interest created by or arising under a settlement. (2) This exclusion does not apply in the case of an asset (“the new asset”) if— (a) on a disposal of the new asset a gain or loss is treated as a result of 116(10) or (11), 134 or 154(2) or (4) as accruing (ignoring section 1M), (b) the gain or loss is calculated by reference to another asset (“the old asset”), and (c) the new asset is one that meets the conditions for exclusion but the old asset does not. (3) For the purposes of this section “a UK resident disposal” means a disposal by a person (“P”) of an asset which was acquired by P at a time when— (a) P was resident in the United Kingdom, and (b) P was not Treaty non-resident. (4) For the purposes of this section “a disqualifying no gain/no loss disposal” means a UK resident disposal to which section 58, 73 or 258(4) applies.

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.
