Propose a change

Finance (No. 2) Act 2023

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

87 Post-duty point dilution of alcoholic products

(1) A person may not mix water or any other substance with alcoholic products on which alcohol duty is chargeable if— (a) the mixing takes places after the excise duty point in relation to that charge, (b) the resulting product is intended for sale, and (c) if the mixing had taken place immediately before the excise duty point, the amount of alcohol duty would have been greater than the amount actually payable. (2) This section has effect, despite section 8 of the Isle of Man Act 1979, as if a removal of relevant alcoholic products to the United Kingdom from the Isle of Man constituted their importation into the United Kingdom (and references to the charge to alcohol duty and to the excise duty point are to be read accordingly).

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.
