(1) This section applies to an individual (“P”) if— (a) a chargeable gain (but not a loss) accrues to a person on a sale of exempt property, (b) but for section 809YA, section 809Y(1) would have applied to the property by virtue of the sale, and (c) P is either— (i) the person to whom the gain accrues, or (ii) a person to whom a part of the gain is treated as accruing under section 3 of TCGA 1992 (members of non-resident companies). (2) The relevant UK gain is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if— (a) it were a foreign chargeable gain of P, and (b) in the case of section 809E, it were not part of P's UK income and gains. (3) Accordingly, if section 809F applies to P for the applicable tax year ..., the relevant UK gain is charged in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to TCGA 1992 as if it were a foreign chargeable gain. (4) The relevant UK gain is— (a) in a case falling within subsection (1)(c)(i), the gain accruing to P, (b) in a case falling within subsection (1)(c)(ii), the part of the gain treated as accruing to P.

(6) In applying this Chapter to the relevant UK gain— (a) treat the amount of any gains mentioned in section 809Q(4)(e) contained in the disposal proceeds by virtue of section 809YC(4) as increased by the amount of the relevant UK gain, (b) disregard section 809U, and (c) anything done in relation to any part of the disposal proceeds before the part is taken offshore or used to make a qualifying investment (or both) does not count as a remittance to the United Kingdom of any of the relevant UK gain. (7) The relevant UK gain is to be treated for the purposes of the following provisions of TCGA 1992 as if it accrued on the disposal of a foreign asset (within the meaning of Schedule 1 to TCGA 1992) — (a) section 1M, (b) section 3D, and (c) Schedule 1. (8) This section has effect despite section 3D(2) of TCGA 1992. (9) This section does not apply with respect to a chargeable gain if P gives notice to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs under this subsection. (10) A notice under subsection (9)— (a) must be in writing and must identify the gain in question, (b) must be given on or before the first anniversary of the 31 January following the applicable tax year, and (c) may not be revoked after that first anniversary.

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.
