12 Dispositions allowable for income tax or conferring benefits under pension scheme.
(1) A disposition made by any person is not a transfer of value if it is allowable in computing that person’s profits or gains for the purposes of income tax or corporation tax or would be so allowable if those profits or gains were sufficient and fell to be so computed.
(2) Without prejudice to subsection (1) above, a disposition made by any person is not a transfer of value if it is a contribution under a registered pension scheme , a qualifying non-UK pension scheme or a section 615(3) scheme in respect of an employee of the person making the disposition.
(2ZA) Where a person who is a member of a registered pension scheme, a qualifying non-UK pension scheme or a section 615(3) scheme omits to exercise pension rights under the pension scheme, section 3(3) above does not apply in relation to the omission.

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.
