Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Act 2022
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
6 Recycling etc of assets to generate relief
(1) Expenditure incurred at any time by a company on the acquisition of an asset is not to count as investment expenditure for the purposes of section 2 if— (a) expenditure was incurred previously by the company or another company in acquiring, leasing, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset, and (b) any of that expenditure has been taken into account, or would on the applicable assumption have been taken into account, for the purposes of the levy. (2) The cases to which this section applies include (for example)— (a) any case where the asset acquired is an interest in an oil field, and (b) any case where the asset is acquired in connection with a transfer to the company of an interest in an oil field (whether or not the asset is acquired at the time of the transfer). (3) In this section— (a) any reference to expenditure incurred by a company in leasing an asset is to expenditure incurred by it under an agreement under which the asset was leased to the company, (b) any reference to the applicable assumption in the case of any expenditure incurred at any time is to the assumption that this Act were fully in force and applied to expenditure incurred at that time, and (c) any reference to an interest in an oil field is to the whole or part of the equity in an oil field.

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.
