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

236M Controlling interest requirement

(1) A settlement meets the controlling interest requirement if— (a) the trustees— (i) hold more than 50% of the ordinary share capital of C, and (ii) have powers of voting on all questions affecting C as a whole which, if exercised, would yield a majority of the votes capable of being exercised on them, (b) the trustees are entitled to more than 50% of the profits available for distribution to the equity holders of C, (c) the trustees would be entitled, on a winding up of C, to more than 50% of the assets of C available for distribution to equity holders, and (d) there are no provisions in any agreement or instrument affecting C’s constitution or management or its shares or securities whereby the condition in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) can cease to be satisfied without the consent of the trustees. (2) See section 236T for further provision relating to the controlling interest requirement.

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.
