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
18 Currency
(1) The value of chargeable goods for the purposes of this Part must be calculated and expressed in sterling. (2) If an amount that is relevant for the purpose of calculating the value of goods for the purposes of this Part is expressed in a currency other than sterling, the amount must be converted into its sterling equivalent. (3) The conversion must be made in accordance with provision contained in a public notice given by HMRC Commissioners. (4) The public notice may make provision— (a) specifying the exchange rate that must be used for the purposes of this section, (b) for the conversion to be made by reference to an exchange rate (or rates) applicable at any time (including a time earlier than that at which an importation took place) or by reference to the average exchange rate for a specified period, (c) for the exchange rate determined in accordance with the notice to apply to transactions or other events taking place in a specified period, (d) for adjusting the applicable exchange rate if the value of sterling against the currency concerned has increased or decreased by more than a specified percentage, and (e) for any conversion to be rounded up or down.

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.
