The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (Emissions and Verification) Regulations 2026
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.

In these Regulations— “accreditation body” has the meaning given by regulation 15; “carbon dioxide equivalent” has the meaning given by regulation 8; “default value” means the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent specified for a tonne of CBAM good or precursor good in a notice published by the Treasury under paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 17 to FA 2026; “emissions intensity” in relation to a CBAM good has the meaning given by step 7 of regulation 5, and in relation to a precursor good has the meaning set out in a notice under regulation 7; “imported CBAM good” has the meaning given by regulation 5(1); “installation” means a stationary industrial unit where CBAM goods, either solely or alongside other goods, are manufactured or processed; “monitoring period” has the meaning given by regulation 9(1); “operator” of an installation means a person who has control over its operation; “precursor good” means a CBAM good which is used in the production of another CBAM good and is identified as relevant to determining the emissions embodied in that CBAM good in the system boundaries document; “produced” in relation to a good means that all of the processes identified as relevant for the CBAM good or precursor good in the system boundaries document have been completed, and references to production are to be read accordingly; “relevant emissions” means the specified types of emissions produced by the specified production processes for a CBAM good or a precursor good, as the case may be, as set out in the system boundaries document; “system boundaries document” means the document entitled “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: System Boundaries Document”, version 1.00 dated 10th July 2026 which specifies— which emissions, including those relevant to the production of precursor goods, are to be taken into account when determining the emissions embodied in a CBAM good; which production processes, including the production processes of precursor goods, are to be taken into account when determining the emissions embodied in CBAM goods; which goods are precursor goods for a CBAM good; how to determine the weight of a CBAM good; “tonne” means metric tonne, and any figure in tonnes must be rounded to the nearest tonne, unless the context otherwise requires; “type” of CBAM good or precursor good means goods falling under a commodity code in Schedule 16 to FA 2026; “verification opinion statement” has the meaning given by regulation 14(2)(f); “verification report” has the meaning given by regulation 14(1); “verified emissions data” has the meaning given by regulation 10; “verifier” has the meaning given by regulation 12; “weight”— in step 6 of regulation 5(1) and in paragraph (b) of regulation 7 means the weight, in tonnes, determined in accordance with the system boundaries document; in all other cases means the weight of a CBAM good— without packing materials and packing containers of any kind, at the time that good is imported into the United Kingdom, and expressed in tonnes.

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.
