(2) For the purposes of this Act (except subsection (1) and section 103C)— (a) each of the parts of an umbrella scheme shall itself be regarded as a collective investment scheme of the same form as the umbrella scheme as a whole, and (b) the umbrella scheme as a whole shall not be regarded as a collective investment scheme of that form or as any other form of collective investment scheme, and the participants in the umbrella scheme are to be treated accordingly. (2A) Subsection (2)— (a) does not prevent gains or losses accruing to an umbrella scheme which is a unit trust scheme (other than an authorised unit trust) being regarded as gains or losses accruing to the umbrella scheme as a whole, and (b) does not apply for the purposes of section 100(2).

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.
