Q&A 03.08.2026 tax returns, MTD, trust structure

This live No Tax for War Q&A Zoom session took place on 03 August 2026, hosted by Rich with Chris and Hugh responding to questions. 

In response to a question, Hugh emphasised that it’s essential not to submit a tax return after setting up a No Tax For War conditional taxation trust. Chris and Hugh also stressed that the same applies with the Government’s push for Make Tax Digital: no tax returns, no registering for the process, despite HMRC stating that it’s compulsory. Among other issues, MTD is ‘digital ID through the back door’. HMRC argues that under tax laws, we have no choice. But, Chris said, under the laws of war, we all – including council employees, councillors, MPs and public servants – have the choice to disobey incompatible government ‘orders’. 

Other key topics include:

  • Trust bank accounts – they must be separate from other accounts, in your own name, and never tell the bank it’s a ‘trust account’.
  • Conditional trust structure – the different roles explained. 
  • Preparing for court in England & Wales — take three copies of the No Tax For War trust deed, one for each magistrate.
  • Impact on others — withholding tax in a conditional trust does not impact the tax position of a spouse.


The next Q&A will be on Monday 17 August at 7pm.

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.
