Paying tax a crime? Chris Coverdale interviewed by Tony Farrell Published on 29 Jan 2013 Most taxpayers know that evading tax is a crime, but how many of us know that paying tax can also be a crime? Tony Farrell interviews Chris Coverdale; a lawyer and tax resister. When David Cameron took the comedian Jimmy Carr to task last summer for tax avoidance and persuaded him to pay income tax to the British Government, he inadvertently involved him in the worst crimes known to mankind -- genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Under the domestic and international laws of war citizens are forbidden from taking part in war on the side of the aggressor and are legally bound to disobey the orders of any Government that takes part in an illegal war or supports acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. This duty to refuse to obey unlawful Government orders includes orders to pay tax. If a government uses funds raised by taxation to wage illegal war or to commit acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, then a taxpayers normal duty to pay tax is reversed and becomes a duty to refuse to pay tax. youtube/watch?v=ufHcMLXjn0c
