We are all responsible for our own taxes — and this applies even if you’re employed and taxed at source via PAYE and National Insurance.
As an employee or worker, you still have the legal right to object to the unlawful use of your taxes. This route involves making a case to your employer and requesting they respect your position. You are not asking them to break the law. You are asking them to honour your right not to be complicit in war crimes.
Step 1: Submit your formal objection to your employer
Explain that you are withholding consent for PAYE and NI deductions on ethical and legal grounds under UK and international law.
Step 2: Propose alternatives
Urge your employer to set up an organisation-wide, corporate Taxation Trust to ring-fence everyone’s PAYE and NI contributions. If that’s not an option, urge them to place your contributions into a holding or escrow account, or offer to pay the equivalent into your own Taxation Trust. If your employer is happy to take the corporate Taxation Trust or escrow route, thank them and work with them to make it happen!
Step 3: Set up your Taxation Trust
If your employer agrees to you ring-fencing your PAYE and NI yourself, set up your employee Taxation Trust and ask your employer to divert your contributions into a standalone bank account.
Step 4: Let HMRC know
If your employer is happy to support you, they will need to forward your Taxation Trust deed to HMRC explaining why the amount they are transferring has been reduced. It will be your employer, not you, who will field HMRC’s responses. Should your employer decline to support you and continues paying your PAYE and NI, there is little you can do other than gather evidence so that you can take things further when this campaign is won.
We go into much greater detail about this process in Setting Up a Trust, which is also included in the downloads packs.
No Tax for War is a grassroots movement of like-minded individuals using lawful, peaceful action to stop UK taxpayers’ money from funding war and crimes against humanity.
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.
