Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(1) If the transfer of business includes intangible fixed assets that— (a) are chargeable intangible assets in relation to the transferor immediately before the transfer, and (b) are chargeable intangible assets in relation to the transferee immediately after the transfer, the transfer of those assets is tax-neutral for the purposes of this Part. (2) This section applies only if the transfer of the business or part meets the genuine commercial transaction requirement (see section 831). (3) This section does not apply if the transferor is a transparent entity. (4) In this section— “the transfer of business” means the transfer of business mentioned in section 819(2)(a) or (3)(a), and “transparent entity” means a company which is resident in a member State ... and does not have an ordinary share capital. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4) an entity is resident in a relevant state if— (a) it is within a charge to tax under the law of the relevant state as being resident for that purpose, and (b) it is not regarded, for the purposes of any double taxation relief arrangements to which the relevant state is a party, as resident in a territory not within a relevant state.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
