363 Value received by investor during 6 year period: loans

(1) This section applies if the investment consists of a loan and the investor receives any value (other than an amount of insignificant value) from the CDFI during the 6 year period. (2) The investor is treated for the purposes of— (a) section 337 (determination of “invested amount”), and (b) section 362 (repayments of loan capital), as having received a repayment of the loan of an amount equal to the amount of the value received. (3) For those purposes the repayment is treated as made— (a) if the value is received in the first or second year of the 6 year period, at the beginning of that second year, and (b) if the value is received in a later year of that period, at the beginning of the year in question. (4) For the purposes of section 362 the repayment is treated as a repayment other than a non-standard repayment (within the meaning of that section). (5) For the purposes of this section “an amount of insignificant value” means an amount of value which— (a) is not more than £1,000, or (b) if it is more than £1,000, is insignificant in relation to the average capital balance of the loan for the year of the 6 year period in which the value is received. (6) For the purposes of subsection (5)(b)— (a) “the average capital balance” of the loan for a year is the mean of the daily balances of capital outstanding during the year (ignoring the receipt of value in question), and (b) any value received in the first year of the 6 year period is treated as received at the beginning of the second year of that period. (7) This section is subject to section 368 (value received if there is more than one investment). (8) Value received is ignored, for the purposes of this section, so far as the CITR attributable to any loan, securities or shares in respect of any one or more tax years has already been reduced or withdrawn on its account.

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.
