As published

399 Eligibility requirements for interest on loans within section 398

(1) Interest on a loan within section 398 to an individual is eligible for relief only if conditions A and B are met. (2) Condition A is that throughout the period from the use of the loan until the interest is paid the individual has been a member of the partnership otherwise than— (a) as a limited partner in a limited partnership registered under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (c. 24), or (b) as a member of an investment LLP. (3) Condition B is that in that period the individual has not recovered any capital from the partnership, apart from any amount taken into account under section 406(2) (recovered capital that is treated as a repayment of the loan). (4) If section 400 (film partnerships) applies in a tax year, only 40% of the interest that would otherwise be eligible for relief for that year is eligible. (5) For the purposes of subsection (2) an individual who is not a member of a partnership is treated as such a member if— (a) the partnership carries on a profession, (b) the individual is employed by the partnership in a senior capacity, and (c) the individual is allowed— (i) to act independently in dealing with clients of the partnership, and (ii) to act generally in such a way as to be indistinguishable from the partners in relations with those clients. (6) For the purposes of subsection (2) “investment LLP” means a limited liability partnership— (a) whose business consists wholly or mainly of the making of investments, and (b) the principal part of whose income is derived from investments, and whether a limited liability partnership is an investment LLP is determined for each period of account of the partnership.

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.
