As published

888A Qualifying private placements

(1) The duty to deduct a sum representing income tax under section 874 does not apply to a payment of interest on a qualifying private placement. (2) “Qualifying private placement” means a security— (a) which represents a loan relationship to which a company is a party as debtor, (b) which is not listed on a recognised stock exchange, and (c) in relation to which such other conditions as the Treasury may specify by regulations are met. (3) The conditions which may be specified under subsection (2)(c) include conditions relating to— (a) the security itself, (b) the loan relationship represented by the security, (c) the terms on which, or circumstances under which, the security or loan relationship is entered into, (d) the company which is party to the loan relationship as debtor, (e) any person by or through whom a payment of interest on the security is made, or (f) the holder of the security. (4) Regulations under this section may make provision about the consequences of failing to make a deduction under section 874, in respect of a payment of interest on a security, in cases where the person required to make the deduction had a reasonable, but mistaken, belief that the security was a qualifying private placement. (5) Regulations under this section may— (a) make different provision for different cases; (b) contain incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings. (6) In this section “loan relationship” has the same meaning as in Part 5 of CTA 2009.

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.
