Propose a change

Value Added Tax Act 1983 (repealed 1.9.1994)

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.

As published

20A Refunds in relation to new means of transport supplied to other member States.

(1) Subject to subsection (2) below, where a person who is not a taxable person makes such a supply of goods consisting in a new means of transport as involves the removal of the goods to another member State, the Commissioners shall, on a claim made in that behalf, refund to that person, as the case may be— (a) the amount of any tax on the supply of that means of transport to that person; or (b) the amount of any tax paid by that person on the acquisition of that means of transport from another member State or on its importation from a place outside the member States. (2) The amount of tax refunded under this section shall not exceed the amount that would have been payable on the supply involving the removal if it had been a taxable supply by a taxable person and had not been zero-rated. (3) The Commissioners shall not be entitled to entertain a claim for refund of tax under this section unless the claim— (a) is made within such time and in such form and manner; (b) contains such information; and (c) is accompanied by such documents, whether by way of evidence or otherwise, as the Commissioners may by regulations prescribe.

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.
