Value Added Tax Act 1983 (repealed 1.9.1994)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.
Change 1
9 Rate of tax.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this section, tax shall be charged at the rate of 17.50 per cent.. and shall be charged— (a) on the supply of goods or services, by reference to the value of the supply as determined under this Act; . . . (aa) on the acquisition of goods from another member State, by reference to the value of the acquisition as determined under this Act; and (b) on the importation of goods from a place outside the member States, by reference to the value of the goods as determined under this Act. (2) The Treasury may by order increase or decrease the rate of tax for the time being in force by such percentage thereof not exceeding 25 per cent. as may be specified in the order, but any such order shall cease to be in force at the expiration of a period of one year from the date on which it takes effect, unless continued in force by a further order under this subsection. (3) In relation to an order made under subsection (2) above to continue, vary or replace a previous order, the reference in that subsection to the rate for the time being in force is a reference to the rate which would be in force if no order under that subsection had been made.

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.
