Propose a change

Value Added Tax Act 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.

What to do with it
As published

7AA Reverse charge on goods supplied from abroad

(1) This section applies where— (a) goods are supplied by a person (“A”) to another person (“B”), (b) B is registered under this Act, (c) the supply involves the goods being imported, (d) the intrinsic value of the consignment of which the goods are part is not more than £135, and (e) the consignment of which the goods are part— (i) does not contain goods of a class or description subject to any duty of excise whether or not those goods are in fact chargeable with that duty, and whether or not that duty has been paid on the goods, and (ii) is not a consignment in relation to which a postal operator established outside the United Kingdom has an obligation under an agreement with the Commissioners to pay any import VAT that is chargeable on the importation of that consignment into the United Kingdom. (2) This Act has effect as if, instead of there being a supply of the goods by A to B— (a) there were a supply of the goods by B in the course of furtherance of a business carried on by B, and (b) that supply were a taxable supply. (3) The Commissioners may by regulations substitute a different figure for a figure that is at any time specified in subsection (1)(d).

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.
