75 Meaning of “BLAGAB chargeable gains” etc

(1) This section explains for the purposes of section 73 how to calculate the BLAGAB chargeable gains of the company for the accounting period as adjusted for allowable losses. Step 1 First, calculate the chargeable gains— that accrue to the company in the accounting period from the disposal of assets held for the purposes of the company's long-term business, and that are referable, in accordance with Chapter 4, to its basic life assurance and general annuity business. Step 2 Then, deduct from the amount of those gains— any allowable losses that accrue to the company in the accounting period from the disposal of assets held for the purposes of the company's long-term business and that are so referable, and so far as not previously deducted from any chargeable gains, any allowable losses that accrued to the company in a previous accounting period from the disposal of assets held for the purposes of the company's long-term business and that were so referable. The resulting amount is the amount of the BLAGAB chargeable gains of the company for the accounting period as adjusted for allowable losses. (2) The deduction at step 2 may reduce an amount to nil but no further. (3) For the purposes of this section no account is to be taken of a chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing to the company on a disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992 of an asset that forms part of the long-term business fixed capital of the company. (4) References in this section to chargeable gains or allowable losses are references to those gains or losses as calculated in accordance with the rules contained in TCGA 1992.

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.
