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.

236LA Trustee independence requirement

(1) A settlement meets the trustee independence requirement if— (a) less than 50% of the trustees are persons who are excluded participators, and (b) excluded participators do not have control of the settlement. (2) In this section “excluded participator” means— (a) a person that is an excluded participator within the meaning given by section 236J, other than a person who is an excluded participator only as a result of a connection falling within section 286(3) (trustees regarded as connected with settlors etc), or (b) a company not falling within paragraph (a), if 50% or more of its directors are persons falling within that paragraph. (3) Excluded participators have control of the settlement if one or more excluded participators, acting alone or together without the trustees who are not excluded participators, have power under the trust instrument or by law to— (a) dispose of, advance, lend, invest, pay or apply settlement property; (b) vary or terminate the settlement; (c) add or remove a person as a beneficiary or to or from a class of beneficiaries; (d) appoint or remove trustees or give another individual control over the settlement; (e) direct the exercise of a power mentioned in sub-paragraphs (a) to (d).

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.
