War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression therefore, is not only an international crime, it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself, the accumulated evil of the whole...Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced.

- Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal judgement 1946

Documentation

This section includes the documentation and templates you will need to set up a trust; explanatory notes on each of these documents and the various steps you will need to take to set aside your taxes in this way.

Use the drop down menu for HMRC, Council Tax & PAYE or NI Contributions as the Trust Deeds differ.

The documents:

The Trust Deed: This is the signed, witnessed document you copy and send to HMRC, Councils, ULEZ etc.
Template Covering Letter: We recommend you write your own letter outlining your personal concerns. The templates offer a guide.
The Promissory Note: While a promissory note is to be treated as cash [Fielding & Platt Ltd v Selim Najjar (1969)], it may be better to pay monthly into your trust the amount you would owe HMRC by the end of the financial year, so you have the money in the account at the end of the tax year. However, as banks can take money directly from your account on behalf of HMRC, you may be better off keeping it elsewhere with 90% in the form of a Promissory Note.
Pre-Action Protocol: These are examples of taking further action against the council or HMRC. However, should you choose this route, having a conversation with a lawyer would be advisable.

STEP 1

Read the steps on using the taxation trust documents at bottom of this page.

STEP 2

Download the relevant DEED, Cover Letter and (if needed) Pre-action protocol using the drop down menu below the STEPS 1-6 heading

STEP 3

Fill in the TOTAL amount of taxes and fines aowed. This includes income tax, council tax, ULEZ and any of the 230 taxes that go to parliament's Consolidated Fund. Get the document witnessed. This can be a work colleague or friend but NOT a family member.

STEP 4

Post a registered COPY of the DEED to each relevant party (Council, ULEZ, HMRC) with the relevant letter.

STEP 5

Place your original signed and witnesses Trust Deed with 10% of the TOTAL of the taxes and fines you owe together with a cheque (post-dated April 5th 2024) OR Promissory Note (see below) separate from your regular day-to-day financial dealings (lockbox/safe/separate account - as this money NO LONGER BELONGS TO YOU). As HMG is the Primary Beneficiary, the taxes & fines now belong to them. By the end of the tax year, if the conditions of the Trust are not met, the Trust is revoked and the money goes to the Secondary Beneficiary, which is you. You are also the TRUSTEE (the person who manages the Trust) and SETTLOR (the person who settles the debt with HMRC should they start to abide by international and domestic law).

STEP 6

When the HMRC or Council comes back to you with their reasons as to why the DEED has no basis in law, remind them of clause 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which states that; a person commits an offence if he invites, receives or provides money or other property, and knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect, it may be used for the purposes of terrorism, where terrorism is defined as the threat or use of firearms or explosions endangering life for a political or ideological cause.

A Note on Promissory Notes

In Fielding & Platt Ltd v Selim Najjar (1969), Lord Denning declared "We have repeatedly said in this court that a bill of exchange or promissory note is to be treated as cash. It is to be honoured unless there is some good reason to the contrary."

A Note on Upholding the Law

We do not recommend you use the Trust Deed for speeding tickets, driving without insurance or anything which the legislative process considers illegal. We have opted to operate within their legislative realm and the aim is to hold the government to account when they are in breach of ratified international law or acting criminally.

Some simple steps on using the taxation trust documents

Before starting this process it is important to read and understand the following documents:

1. Share and read the Lawful Tax Resistance Article (bottom of the War Tax Resistance page).

2. Clarify your understanding of every statement in the Declaration of Sovereignty and Deed of Trust (D&D) document and the lawful, legal and legitimate basis for refusing to take a financial part in Britain's illegal criminal wars, mass murders, crimes against humanity and genocides that take place ONLY because taxpayers fund these crimes by paying tax. Be aware that every taxpayer pays £1,830 towards so called 'defence' (buying weapons, ships, aircraft, tanks, missiles, bombs etc.) and paying military forces to use them to attack and murder an average of 100,000 men women and children every year since 2001.

3. Then read and check that you understand section 1 of the United Nations Act 1946, Article 41 of the UN Charter, section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and section 52 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 and that these criminal offences apply to every person in the UK including the Monarch, the Prime Minister and every adult taxpayer.

4. Fill in, sign and witness your D&Ds, take two or three copies of each person's D&D and place the original and cash (or monies in a designated bank account - though this is risky as the banks can take the monies from your account to pay HMRC directly) or a promissory note in a separate safe place at home.

5. If doing this as part of a group, make a firm commitment to each other in your group that you will together take a lawful, legal and legitimate stand against this criminal government activity and put your taxes in trust for one, more or all of the following Government agents - your local Council, HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue and Customs) and/or businesses, institutions and/or corporations that you know or suspect are passing / or will pass money or property to HM Government.

6. Decide which tax demands that you as a group will withhold first. (Council Tax, Income Tax, VAT, PAYE, NI etc).

7. Look through some of the template letters to send to a Council, Employers, HMRC etc. and write your own letter in your own words explaining why you are withholding the money and the conditions they will need to meet if you (as trustee) are to hand over the money to them.

8. Post the letters (individual or joint) with a copy of your D&D to your chosen government agent (Council, HMRC etc).

9. Inform your local Freedom Co-op / Hub organiser of your actions so that you can build up a list of those local people that are lawfully withholding taxes.

10. Plan the next steps (such as meeting with your local councillors / journalists / local media outlets to educate them on the lawful duty to withhold tax when the money is used for criminal purposes.

11. At the financial year-end, you can perhaps send a contribution of your tax savings to share between the Taxpayers’ Co-operative and your local Freedom Co-op, hub or group. If there isn't one in your area, perhaps you can look into setting one up. There are currently 7,000 co-ops in Britain.
