Live Q&A 22.12.25

This live Q&A webinar, hosted by the No Tax For War campaign, dives into the trust-based process of lawfully withholding taxes that may be used to fund war, genocide, or other criminal government activities. Led by Chris Coverdale, the session offers clear, practical guidance on using Discretionary, Conditional, Revocable Trusts to ensure funds are held lawfully until the government can prove compliance with UK and international law.

This session explores:

  • How to apply the International Criminal Court Act and Terrorism Act when completing trust forms
  • How to manage communications from HMRC and local authorities
  • Strategies for addressing Council Tax Liability Orders
  • Protecting personal and business bank accounts under new government seizure powers
  • Concerns around credit referencing when withholding tax or not filing returns
  • Real-world examples from individuals who have used the trust process successfully over several years

We also discuss a landmark case before the King’s Bench Division, which could have major implications for tax collection and the constitutional separation of powers in the UK.

At the heart of this discussion is a core belief: if your taxes fund war crimes, you may be complicit. We believe it is both a legal and moral duty to withhold those funds—peacefully, lawfully, and transparently—until the government proves they are not being used to cause harm.

When is it a crime to pay tax?

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.
