What to do with it
As published

244B Exclusion: member and receiving scheme in same country

(1) A recognised transfer to a QROPS or a relieved relevant non-UK scheme transfer is excluded from the overseas transfer charge under section 244AC if during the relevant period— (a) the member is resident in the country or territory in which the QROPS to which the transfer is made is established, and (b) there is no onward transfer— (i) for which the recognised transfer is the original transfer or relieved relevant non-UK scheme transfer, and (ii) which is not excluded from the charge. (2) If the member is resident in that country or territory at the time of the transfer mentioned in subsection (1), it is to be assumed for the purposes of subsection (1) that the member will be resident in that country or territory during the relevant period; but if, at a time before the end of the relevant period, the transfer ceases to be excluded by subsection (1) otherwise than by reason of the member's death— (a) that assumption is from that time no longer to be made, and (b) the charge on the transfer is treated as charged at that time. (3) An onward transfer to a QROPS (“transfer A”) is excluded from the overseas transfer charge under section 244AC if during so much of the relevant period as is after the time of transfer A— (a) the member is resident in the country or territory in which the QROPS is established, and (b) there is no subsequent onward transfer that— (i) is of sums and assets which, in whole or part, directly or indirectly derive from those transferred by transfer A, and (ii) is not excluded from the charge. (4) If the member is resident in that country or territory at the time of transfer A, it is to be assumed for the purposes of subsection (3) that the member will be resident in that country or territory during so much of the relevant period as is after the time of transfer A; but if, at a time before the end of the relevant period, the transfer ceases to be excluded by subsection (3) otherwise than by reason of the member's death— (a) that assumption is from that time no longer to be made, and (b) the charge on transfer A is treated as charged at that time.

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.
