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
8 The customs tariff
(1) The Treasury must make regulations establishing, and maintaining in force, a system which— (a) classifies goods according to their nature, origin or any other factor, (b) gives codes to the goods as so classified, (c) specifies the rate of import duty applicable to goods falling within those codes (whether by a formula or otherwise), and (d) contains rules for determining the amount of import duty applicable to those goods. (2) This system is referred to in this Part as the customs tariff. (3) The customs tariff may provide for the amount of any import duty applicable to any goods falling within any code to be determined by reference to either or both of the following— (a) the value of the goods, and (b) the weight or volume of the goods or any other measure of their quantity or size. (3A) The provision that the customs tariff may make under subsection (1)(c), by virtue of section 32(7), includes provision specifying different rates of import duty applicable to goods falling within a code by reference to their nature, origin or any other factor. (4) The customs tariff may include provision as to the meaning of any expression used in it. (5) In considering the rate of import duty that ought to apply to any goods in a standard case, the Treasury must have regard to— (a) the interests of consumers in the United Kingdom, (b) the interests of producers in the United Kingdom of the goods concerned, (c) the desirability of maintaining and promoting the external trade of the United Kingdom, (d) the desirability of maintaining and promoting productivity in the United Kingdom, and (e) the extent to which the goods concerned are subject to competition. (6) In considering the rate of import duty that ought to apply to any goods in a standard case, the Treasury must also have regard to any recommendation about the rate made to them by the Secretary of State. (7) In considering what recommendation to make, the Secretary of State must have regard to the matters set out in subsection (5)(a) to (e). (8) In this section “a standard case” means a case other than one to which any of sections 9 to 15 or 19(4) apply (preferential rates, quotas, tariff suspension, safeguarding, etc). (9) Regulations under this section may amend provision made under section 9 or 10 so as to provide that the rate of import duty that applies to goods in a standard case applies in any specified case to which either of those sections applies (instead of the rate of import duty for the time being applicable by virtue of provision made under either of them).

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.
