1027 Cap on amount of distributions affected by section 1026

(1) Section 1026(2) does not apply to the distributions in question so far as they, together with any affected distributions made previously but after the issue of the bonus share capital, exceed the cap. (2) In subsection (1) “the cap” means the total of the amounts— (a) paid up, otherwise than by the receipt of new consideration, on shares representing the bonus share capital, and (b) not falling to be treated as ... distributions. (3) In subsection (1) “affected distribution” means however much of a distribution made in respect of shares representing the bonus share capital— (a) would, but for section 1026, be treated as a repayment of share capital, but (b) cannot be so treated because of that section. (4) In subsection (2)(a) the reference to amounts paid up is to amounts paid up at the time of the distributions in question or previously.

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.
