200 Company wholly owned by a charity

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter a company is wholly owned by a charity if condition A or B is met. (2) Condition A is that— (a) the company has an ordinary share capital, and (b) every part of that share capital is owned by a charity (whether or not the same charity). (3) Condition B is that— (a) the company is limited by guarantee, and (b) every beneficiary of the company is or must be a charity or a company wholly owned by a charity. (4) Ordinary share capital of a company is treated as owned by a charity if a charity— (a) directly or indirectly owns that share capital within the meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 24, or (b) would be taken so to own it if references in that Chapter to a body corporate included references to a charity which is not a body corporate. (4A) In the case of a charity which is a registered club, ordinary share capital of a company is treated as owned by a charity if the charity beneficially owns that share capital. (5) A beneficiary of a company is a person who— (a) is beneficially entitled to participate in the company's divisible profits, or (b) will be beneficially entitled to share in any of the company's net assets available for distribution on its winding up.

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.
