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.

As published

225BA Deferred payments on disposals in connection with divorce etc

(1) This section applies where— (a) an individual (“A”) ceases to live with A’s spouse or civil partner (“B”) in a dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house, (b) immediately before A ceases to live with B, the dwelling-house or part is A’s only or main residence, (c) A disposes of, or of an interest in, that dwelling-house or part to B (“the initial disposal”), and (d) the initial disposal is in accordance with a deferred sale agreement or order. (2) If— (a) in accordance with the deferred sale agreement or order A receives a sum in respect of a share of any profit made by B upon B’s disposal of, or of an interest in, the dwelling-house or part, and (b) the receipt of that sum would be treated (apart from this section) as a disposal falling with section 22 (disposal where capital sums derived from assets), that receipt is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as a gain attributable to the initial disposal but accruing to A at the time the sum is received. (3) In this section, a “deferred sale agreement or order” is an agreement or order of a court which— (a) is within paragraph (a) or (b), as the case may be, of section 225B(2) (agreements and orders of the court in relation to divorce etc), and (b) includes a term entitling A to receive a share of any profit made by B as mentioned in subsection (2)(a).

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.
