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

9 Preferential rates: arrangements with countries or territories outside UK

(1) If— (a) Her Majesty's government in the United Kingdom makes arrangements with the government of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, and (b) the arrangements contain provision for the rate of import duty applicable to goods, or any description of goods, originating from the country or territory to be lower than the applicable rate in the customs tariff in its standard form, the Treasury may make regulations to give effect to the provision made by the arrangements (whether by amending the customs tariff or otherwise). (2) The reference here to the customs tariff in its standard form is to the tariff as it has effect without regard to any provision made under any of sections 10 to 15 or section 19(4). (3) The power of the Treasury to make regulations under this section is exercisable only on the recommendation of the Secretary of State.

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.
