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.

81A Return or further return in consequence of later linked transaction
(1) Where the effect of a transaction (“the later transaction”) that is linked to an earlier transaction is that the earlier transaction becomes notifiable, the purchaser under the earlier transaction must deliver a return in respect of that transaction before the end of the period of 14 days after the effective date of the later transaction.
(1A) Where the effect of a transaction (“the later transaction”) that is linked to an earlier transaction is that—
(a) tax is payable in respect of the earlier transaction where none was payable before and subsection (1) does not apply, or
(b) additional tax is payable in respect of the earlier transaction,
the purchaser under the earlier transaction must deliver a further return in respect of that transaction before the end of the period of 30 days after the effective date of the later transaction.
(1B) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (1A), any tax or additional tax payable is calculated according to the effective date of the earlier transaction.
(1C) Where a purchaser is required to deliver a return under subsection (1) or a further return under subsection (1A)—
(a) that return must include a self-assessment of the amount of tax chargeable as a result of the later transaction, and
(b) the tax or additional tax payable must be paid not later than the filing date for that return.
(2) The provisions of Schedule 10 (returns, enquiries, assessments and other matters) apply to a return under this section as they apply to a return under section 76 (general requirement to deliver land transaction return), with the following adaptations—
(a) in paragraph 5 (formal notice to deliver return), the requirement in sub-paragraph (2)(a) that the notice specify the transaction to which it relates shall be read as requiring both the earlier and later transactions to be specified;
(b) references to the effective date of the transaction to which the return relates shall be read as references to the effective date of the later transaction.
(3) This section does not affect any requirement to make a return under section 76 in respect of the later transaction.

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.
