As published

118 Gifts to the nation: estate duty

(1) In Schedule 14 to FA 2012 (gifts to the nation), before paragraph 33 insert— 32A (1) This paragraph applies where a person (“the donor”) makes a qualifying gift of an object in circumstances where, had the donor instead sold the object to an individual at market value, a charge to estate duty would have arisen under section 40 of FA 1930 on the proceeds of sale. (2) At the time when the gift is made, estate duty becomes chargeable under that section as if the gift were such a sale (subject to any limitation imposed by paragraph 33(2)). (3) In the application of this paragraph to Northern Ireland, the references to section 40 of FA 1930 are to be read as references to section 2 of the Finance Act (Northern Ireland) 1931. (2) Subsection (3) applies where a person (“the donor”) has, before the day on which this Act is passed, made a qualifying gift of an object in circumstances where, had the donor instead sold the object to an individual at market value, a charge to estate duty would have arisen under section 40 of FA 1930 on the proceeds of sale. (3) No liability to estate duty under section 40 of FA 1930 arises in respect of the object on or after the day on which this Act is passed. (4) In subsection (2) “qualifying gift” has the same meaning as in Schedule 14 to FA 2012. (5) In the application of subsections (2) and (3) to Northern Ireland, the references to section 40 of FA 1930 are to be read as references to section 2 of the Finance Act (Northern Ireland) 1931.

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.
