Paying taxes to a government which will spend it on illegal wars is to break the law, Chris Coverdale explains to Charles Malet.
During more than two decades of tax resistance, Chris has been sent to prison three times, highlighting the enormous corruption infesting the legal system.
Citing the provisions of the UN Charter, the International Criminal Court Act 2001 (and the International Criminal Court (Scotland) Act 2001) and the Terrorism Act 2000, among other legislation, he outlines the process he now uses to challenge UK government and institutions.

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.
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.
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.
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.
