Q&A 28.09.26 Scotland, council tax, debt collectors

This live No Tax for War Q&A Zoom session took place on 28 September 2026, hosted by Rich with Chris, Hugh, and Chandrahas responding to questions. 

Rich began by reminding callers that nobody from No Tax for War can offer legal advice, and everyone is responsible for their own decisions and actions. He also introduced trust advisor Josephine Wolo from Protect What’s Yours and thanked her for joining the call as a guest.

Hugh emphasised that there is not yet any case law arising from using the No Tax for War trust-based process for withholding tax, but even though there is also no legislation that prevents anyone from implementing it, we are all stepping into the unknown.

Questions covered debt collectors and council tax court documentation in Scotland, bank account deductions, managing direct debits, HMRC deductions, statutory demands. 

Other key topics include:

  • Terrorism Act 2000, section 19 – the duty to report an offence under sections 15-1
  • R v Gul – the Supreme court’s ruling that UK military and quasi-military activities ‘appear to be terrorism’ even if approved by Parliament
  • Proving payment into a trust – tactics to use to demonstrate when the trust was established
  • Enforcement officers – what they can and can’t do.
  •  

Josephine Wolo can be contacted via Protect What’s Yours. 

📣 No Tax for War is soon to launch a web-based app to run in tandem with the current website and aimed at simplifying and tracking your personal trust journey 📣

The next Q&A will be on Monday 12 October at 7pm.

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.
