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

272 Valuation: general.

(1) In this Act “market value” in relation to any assets means the price which those assets might reasonably be expected to fetch on a sale in the open market. (2) In estimating the market value of any assets no reduction shall be made in the estimate on account of the estimate being made on the assumption that the whole of the assets is to be placed on the market at one and the same time. (3) The Treasury may make regulations as to the manner for determining for the purposes of this Act— (a) the market value at any time of shares or securities which are included in the official UK list, and (b) the market value at any time of shares or securities which are listed on a recognised stock exchange outside the United Kingdom. (4) The regulations may— (a) make different provision for different cases, and (b) contain incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings. (5) In this Act “market value” in relation to any rights of unit holders in any unit trust scheme the buying and selling prices of which are published regularly by the managers of the scheme shall mean an amount equal to the buying price (that is the lower price) so published on the relevant date, or if none were published on that date, on the latest date before. (6) The provisions of this section, with sections 273 and 274, have effect subject to sections 25A and 41A and Part I of Schedule 11.

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.

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.
