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

236S Identification of shares where section 236H or 236Q applies

(1) This section applies where the trustees of a settlement hold— (a) shares which were— (i) acquired in circumstances where section 236H applied, or (ii) the subject of a deemed acquisition under section 71(1) in circumstances where section 236Q applied, and not subsequently disposed of and reacquired (“EOT exempt shares”), and (b) other shares which, but for section 104(4A), would be shares of the same class as those shares. (2) If the trustees dispose of some, but not all, of the shares so held, they may determine what proportion of the shares disposed of are EOT exempt shares (up to the number of such shares held). (3) For the purposes of this section shares in a company are not to be treated as being of the same class unless they are so treated by the practice of a recognised stock exchange or would be so treated if dealt with on a recognised stock exchange. (4) Nothing in subsection (2) applies in relation to a disposal by virtue of section 236P(3).

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.
