Propose a change

Finance Act 1986

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

72ZA Meaning of “exempt capital-raising instrument”

(1) For the purposes of sections 67 and 70, an instrument is an “exempt capital-raising instrument” if the instrument transfers relevant securities in the course of capital-raising arrangements. (2) In this section, “capital-raising arrangements” means arrangements pursuant to which relevant securities are issued by a company for the purpose of raising new capital. (3) An instrument is not prevented from being an exempt capital-raising instrument by reason only of a delay in transferring relevant securities where— (a) a person (“the transferor”) acquires the relevant securities— (i) before capital-raising arrangements are entered into, or (ii) in the course of capital-raising arrangements, (b) the transferor is subject to a restriction that has the effect of preventing the transfer of the relevant securities in the course of the capital-raising arrangements, and (c) the instrument transfers the relevant securities as soon as reasonably practicable after the time at which the restriction ceases to have effect.

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.
