42 Relief from transfer stamp duty in case of transfer of property as between associated companies.
(1) Stamp duty under Part I of Schedule 13 to the Finance Act 1999 (conveyance or transfer on sale), shall not be chargeable on an instrument to which this section applies; Provided that no such instrument shall be deemed to be duly stamped unless either it is stamped with the duty to which it would but for this section be liable, or it has in accordance with the provisions of section twelve of the said Act been stamped with a particular stamp denoting either that it is not chargeable with any duty or that it is duly stamped. (2) This section applies to any instrument as respects which it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that—. (a) the effect of the instrument is to convey or transfer a beneficial interest in property from one body corporate (“the transferor”) to another (“the transferee”), and (b) the bodies in question are associated at the time the instrument is executed unless at the time the instrument is executed arrangements are in existence by virtue of which at that or some later time any person has or could obtain, or any persons together have or could obtain, control of the transferee but not of the transferor (but see sections 42A and 42B) . (2A) For the purposes of this section bodies corporate are associated at a particular time if at that time one is the parent of the other or another body corporate is the parent of each. (2B) For the purposes of this section one body corporate is the parent of another at a particular time if at that time the first body (a) is beneficially owner of not less than 75 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of the second body (b) is beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the second body; and (c) would be beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent of any assets of the second body available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up. (3) The ownership referred to in paragraph (a) of subsection (2B) above is ownership either directly or through another body corporate or other bodies corporate, or partly directly and partly through another body corporate or other bodies corporate, and Part I of Schedule 4 to the Finance Act 1938 (determination of amount of capital held through other bodies corporate) shall apply for the purposes of that paragraph. . .. (4) In this section “ordinary share capital”, in relation to a body corporate, means all the issued share capital (by whatever name called) of the body corporate, other than capital the holders of which have a right to a dividend at a fixed rate but have no other right to share in the profits of the body corporate. (5) Chapter 6 of Part 5 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 shall apply for the purposes of paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (2B) as it applies for the purposes of section 151(4)(a) and (b) of that Act; but this is subject to subsection (6). (6) In determining for the purposes of this section whether a body corporate is the parent of the transferor, sections 171(1)(b) and (3), 173, 174 and 176 to 178 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 shall not apply for the purposes of paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection (2B). (7) In this section, “control” shall be construed in accordance with section 1124 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 .

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.
