619 Meaning of “securities” and when securities are of the same kind

(1) In this Chapter “securities” includes— (a) any loan stock or similar security other than an excluded security, and (b) shares in a building society which are qualifying shares for the purposes of section 117(4) of TCGA 1992 (qualifying corporate bonds), but (subject to paragraph (b)) it does not include any shares in a company. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), it does not matter— (a) whether the security is of the government of the United Kingdom, any other government, any public or local authority in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, or any company or other body, (b) whether or not the security is secured, (c) whether or not the security carries a right to interest of a fixed amount or at a fixed rate percentage of the nominal value of the security, or (d) whether or not the security is in bearer form. (3) In this section “excluded securities” means— (a) national savings certificates (including Ulster Savings Certificates as defined in section 693(7) of ITTOIA 2005), (b) war savings certificates, (c) uncertificated eligible debt security units as defined in section 986, (d) certificates of deposit (see section 1019), (e) a security which is a right falling within section 552(1)(c) of ITTOIA 2005 at the time of the transfer in question, (f) a security that meets the redemption conditions (see subsection (5)), and (g) a security that is a deeply discounted security within the meaning of Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005. (4) But subsection (3)(g) does not include a security if, on its transfer, Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 would apply subject to the rules in sections 454 to 456 of that Act (listed securities held since 26 March 2003). (5) The redemption conditions are that— (a) the security is redeemable, (b) the amount payable on its redemption exceeds its issue price, and (c) no return other than the amount of that excess is payable on it. (6) Securities are treated as being of the same kind for the purposes of this Chapter if they— (a) are treated as being of the same kind by the practice of a recognised stock exchange, or (b) would be so treated if dealt in on such an exchange.

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.
