Your taxes are funding genocide and war crimes. Right now.

Millions of pounds of UK taxpayers’ money is helping support Israel’s actions in Gaza, through direct military assistance and arms sales. Your money is funding war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity —  right now, and all without your consent. But there is a lawful, peaceful, and powerful way to say no

Military spending for past, current, and future wars exceeds £60 billion every year. That’s £60 billion of taxpayers’ money used to fund unlawful wars, arms sales, and genocide. Including, right now, in Gaza. All without consent, transparency, or accountability. This isn’t just unethical. Under international law, paying tax that funds war crimes is a criminal offence. You have the right — and a clear duty — to say no.

The system’s best-kept secret.

Taxation Trusts💡are lawful tools that enable individuals and businesses to withhold taxes. Not to evade them, but to insist they’re only used in line with UK and international war law.

This is a peaceful, principled form of resistance. We’ll help you understand the process and show you what to put in place.

Use the law to uphold the law.

You don’t need to break the law to take a stand against what’s happening in Gaza — you just need to harness it. We use a Taxation Trust💡to lawfully withhold tax until it can be shown that public money will be used legally and ethically. This is how individuals and business owners take peaceful, powerful action. All within the law.

I pay my tax through self-assessment

Setting up a personal trust is easy and lets you lawfully ring-fence your self-assessment funds as you join the growing number of taxpayers demanding proper accountability.

I’m a business owner with a company

You can act individually or through your limited company. Set up a corporate trust to withhold tax while funds are being used for unlawful purposes — and encourage others to do the same.

I pay my tax through PAYE and NI

Even if you’re employed and taxed at source, you still have the legal right to withhold taxes. Find out how to make a case to your employer requesting they respect your legal position.

Peaceful and impactful.

This isn’t a random uprising. It’s a growing grassroots movement of people using the law to challenge unlawful government action.

When enough of us act, the system has to listen. This is about individual, lawful, resistance by using trust deeds to withhold tax that would otherwise fund war, destruction, and crimes against humanity.

Whether you’re an individual or a business, you can take a lawful stand — and you won’t be alone. This is about strength in numbers, clarity of purpose, and peaceful power in action.

Definition: Fiduciary

A fiduciary is person or organisation in a position of trust who has a legal duty to act in good faith and in the best interests of another party, such as a trustee for beneficiaries of a trust.

Placing your home in a separate trust

Creating a distinct legal trust specifically for your primary residence. This ensures that your home is no longer legally “owned” by you as an individual, but held in trust for your benefit. Doing so may offer protection against enforcement action by councils or creditors, especially if you are challenging council tax or other state demands. It is a precautionary step to reduce the risk of property seizure or legal intimidation. Legal advice is recommended before proceeding.

Definition: Trusts

A trust is a legal tool that ring-fences your money until certain conditions are met. The Make War History Taxation Trust is a conditional, revocable trust to withhold tax until it’s proven it won’t be used unlawfully — for example, to fund war. 

Definition: Promissory Note

A Promissory Note is a legally binding promise to pay — but only once the trust’s conditions are met. It shows you’re not refusing to pay tax outright, just demanding it be used lawfully. This adds weight to your position and ensures the legal system recognises your intent.
