Propose a change

Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018

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

15 International disputes etc

(1) If— (a) a dispute or other issue has arisen between Her Majesty's government in the United Kingdom and the government of a country or territory, and (b) Her Majesty's government in the United Kingdom considers that (having regard to the matters set out in section 28 and any other relevant matters) it is appropriate to deal with the issue by varying the amount of import duty in the case of goods, or a description of goods, originating from the country or territory, the Secretary of State may make regulations varying the amount of import duty applicable to the goods or the description of goods. (2) In exercising the power to make the regulations in the case of a dispute affecting any goods, the Secretary of State must secure that the amount of import duty payable in that case takes account of any additional amount of import duty which— (a) is payable under section 13 as a result of the goods being subsidised, or (b) would have been so payable had an undertaking not been accepted in respect of the goods.

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.
