Net output VAT is one of the most significant contributions to the HMRC tax pot made by UK businesses, and you have the right to use a Taxation Trust
to withhold it lawfully if you believe it is funding crimes against humanity.
Step 1: Set up your Corporate VAT Trust
Use the Corporate Taxation Trust deed for your UK location. Complete, witness, and store the original securely. Send a copy only to HMRC.
Step 2: Step 1: Open a dedicated VAT bank account
Keep net output VAT in a separate bank account to ring-fence it from your other operational business accounts. Even if your business is not a limited liability company, it is still best practice to open a separate account to hold the funds.Â
Step 3: Notify HMRC
Use the VAT-specific letter template to explain why you are lawfully withholding VAT. Use Royal Mail’s signed-for service so you have delivery details. There’s a list of HMRC recipients with the template.
Step 4: Keep full records
Ensure you maintain a digital and physical paper trail of all correspondence, transactions, and signed-for Royal Mail deliveries to HMRC.
Step 5: Year-end review
At year-end, inform HMRC whether or not they are entitled to payment depending on whether the trust conditions have or have not been met. If they haven’t, it would be prudent for your business to retain the accumulated funds until this campaign point has been settled in a court of law. This is because the net output your business holds belongs to the individuals and businesses you invoiced. Some can identify this easily while others may not be able to and will need to decide how to distribute the funds you accumulated in a lawful, responsible, and ethical manner.Â

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.Â
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.
