Finance Act 1940
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
37 Amendments as to deficiencies of profits.
(1) Subsection (2) of section fifteen of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1939 (which provides that the profits chargeable with excess profits tax arising from a trade or business shall be deemed to be reduced where a deficiency of profits occurs in any chargeable accounting period of a trade or business) shall not apply to a deficiency of profits so far as it occurs while the trade or business was being carried on neither in the United Kingdom nor by a person ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom. (2) The provisions of Part II of the Fifth Schedule to the Finance Act, 1937 (which as applied by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1939, relate to appeals against assessments to excess profits tax) including the provisions thereof enabling the Commissioners to make regulations, shall, with the necessary modifications, apply in relation to any determination by the Commissioners as to the giving of relief from excess profits tax for any chargeable accounting period on the ground that a deficiency of profits has occurred in any chargeable accounting period as they apply in relation to assessments to excess profits tax.

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.

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.
