As published

244IC Availability of member’s overseas transfer allowance

(1) This section is about the availability of a member’s overseas transfer allowance on the making of a transfer of the kind mentioned in section 244IA(1)(a) (“the current overseas transfer”). (2) If no transfer of the kind mentioned in section 244IA(1)(a) has been made in relation to the member before the current overseas transfer, the whole of the member’s overseas transfer allowance is available. (3) Otherwise, the amount of the member’s overseas transfer allowance that is available is— (a) so much of that allowance as is left after deducting the previously-used amount, or (b) if none is left after deducting that amount, nil. (4) For this purpose “the previously-used amount” is the aggregate of the transferred value (determined in accordance with section 244K) of each transfer (if any) of the kind mentioned in section 244IA(1)(a) that has been made in relation to the member before the current overseas transfer. (5) A reference in this section to a transfer of the kind mentioned in section 244IA(1)(a) is to a transfer made on or after 6 April 2024.

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.

Think it through

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.
