Q&A 22.06.26: HMRC and PAYE, charging orders, bailiffs

This live No Tax for War Q&A Zoom session took place on 22 June 2026, hosted by Rich with Hugh and Chandrahas responding to questions. 

Questions covered HMRC targeting PAYE and bank accounts, council liability and charging orders, bailiffs and enforcement officers, informing councils of address changes, and recovering council tax direct debits. There was also a reminder to use the correct legal language in correspondence and to keep meticulous records.

Key topics include:

  • HMRC and PAYE — what can and can’t be collected without a tax return
  • HMRC and bank accounts — what the new direct recovery powers mean
  • Council liability orders — their true legal standing under the Magistrates Court Act
  • Bailiffs and enforcement officers — what councils can and can’t get them to do
  • Charging orders — how some judges are now challenging councils.

The next Q&A will be on Monday 6 July 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.
