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

244 Part disposal: consideration exceeding allowable expenditure.

(1) The provisions of sections 242(2) and 243(2) shall have effect subject to this section. (2) Where the allowable expenditure is less than the consideration for the part disposal (or is nil)— (a) the said provisions shall not apply, and (b) if the recipient so elects (and there is any allowable expenditure)— (i) the consideration for the part disposal shall be reduced by the amount of the allowable expenditure, and, (ii) none of that expenditure shall be allowable as a deduction in computing a gain accruing on the occasion of the part disposal or on any subsequent occasion. In this subsection “allowable expenditure” means expenditure which, immediately before the part disposal, was attributable to the holding of land under paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 38(1). (3) An election under subsection (2)(b) above shall be made— (a) for the purposes of capital gains tax, on or before the first anniversary of the 31st January next following the year of assessment in which the part disposal is made; (b) for the purposes of corporation tax, within 2 years after the end of the accounting period in which the part disposal is made.

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.
