Tobacco Products Duty Act 1979
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
8J Interfering with fiscal marks: penalties.
(1) This section applies where a person— (a) alters or overprints any fiscal mark carried by any tobacco products in compliance with any provision made under this Act, or (b) causes any such mark to be altered or overprinted. (2) His altering or overprinting of the mark, or his causing it to be altered or overprinted, shall attract a penalty under section 9 of the Finance Act 1994 (civil penalties). (3) The products that carried the mark shall be liable to forfeiture. (4) The penalty under subsection (2) above shall be calculated by reference to the duty currently charged on the products. For this purpose “the duty currently charged” on the products is the amount of the duty charged under section 2 above that would be payable on the products if the requirement to pay the duty took effect at the time of the conduct attracting the penalty.

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.
