269ZG General insurance companies: excluded accounting periods

(1) Nothing in sections 269ZB to 269ZD has effect for determining the taxable total profits of a general insurance company for an excluded accounting period. (2) An accounting period of a general insurance company is an “excluded accounting period” if conditions A and B are met. (3) Condition A is that— (a) the company is subject to insolvency procedures (see section 269ZH) at the end of the accounting period, (b) immediately before it became subject to insolvency procedures the company— (i) was unable to pay its debts as they fell due, and (ii) met the non-viability condition, and (c) the company's liabilities in respect of qualifying latent claims (see section 269ZI) were the main factor contributing to the company's meeting the non-viability condition at that time. (4) Condition B is that— (a) at the end of the accounting period the company meets the non-viability condition, and (b) the company's liabilities in respect of qualifying latent claims are the main factor contributing to the company's meeting that condition at that time. (5) At any time, a general insurance company meets the non-viability condition if there is no realistic prospect that it will subsequently write any new insurance business. (6) For the purposes of this section a person who carries on the activity of effecting or carrying out contracts of general insurance is a “general insurance company” if— (a) the person has permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to carry on that activity, (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
