What to do with it
As published

99 Application of Act to unit trust schemes.

(1) This Act shall apply in relation to any unit trust scheme as if— (a) the scheme were a company, (b) the rights of the unit holders were shares in the company, and (c) in the case of an authorised unit trust, the company were resident ... in the United Kingdom, except that nothing in this section shall be taken to bring a unit trust scheme within the charge to corporation tax on chargeable gains. (1A) Subsection (1) does not apply to an offshore fund that is a transparent fund within the meaning given by regulation 11 of the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 (see instead section 103D). (2) Subject to subsection (3) and sections 99A and 151W(a) below, in this Act— (a) “unit trust scheme” has the meaning given by section 237(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, (aa) “unit holder” means a person entitled to a share of the investments subject to the trusts of a unit trust scheme; (b) “authorised unit trust” means, as respects an accounting period, a unit trust scheme in the case of which an order under section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 is in force during the whole or part of that period. (3) The Treasury may by regulations provide that any scheme of a description specified in the regulations shall be treated as not being a unit trust scheme for the purposes of this Act; and regulations under this section may contain such supplementary and transitional provisions as appear to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient.

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.
