212 Annual deemed disposal of holdings of unit trusts etc.

(1) Where at the end of an accounting period the assets held by an insurance company for the purposes of its long-term business include— (a) rights under an authorised unit trust, or (b) interests in an offshore fund ... , or (ba) units in an authorised contractual scheme which is a co-ownership scheme, or (bb) units in a Reserved Investor Fund (Contractual Scheme), or (c) shares in a company which is, or is a member of, a UK REIT within the meaning of Part 12 of CTA 2010 (Real Estate Investment Trusts), or, (d) shares in a company which is, or is a member of, a QAHC within the meaning of Schedule 2 to the Finance Act 2022 (qualifying asset holding companies), then, subject to the following provisions of this section and to section 213, the company shall be deemed for the purposes of corporation tax on capital gains to have disposed of and immediately reacquired each of the assets concerned at its market value at that time. (1A) For the purposes of computing the gain accruing on a deemed disposal under subsection (1) of units in an authorised contractual scheme which is a co-ownership scheme or of units in a Reserved Investor Fund (Contractual Scheme), subsections (3A) and (9) of section 103D (application of Act to tax transparent funds) do not apply. (1B) But subsection (1A) does not affect the application of those subsections in the event of any other disposal of units in such a scheme by an insurance company, and in such a case— (a) section 103D(3A) applies in respect of all allowances under Part 2A of CAA 2001 to which the company has been entitled during the period it has held units in the scheme, and (b) section 103D(9) applies in respect of all capital allowances and renewal allowances that have been, or may be, made to expenditure incurred during that period.

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.
