STEP 1
Read the steps on using the taxation trust documents at bottom of this page.
STEP 2
If you haven’t already, download the relevant DEED, Cover Letter and (if needed) Pre-action protocol using the options above.
STEP 3
Get the document witnessed. This can be a work colleague or friend but NOT a family member.
STEP 4
Post a registered COPY of the DEED to each relevant party (Council, ULEZ, HMRC) with the relevant letter.
STEP 5
Place your original signed and witnesses Trust Deed with 10% of the TOTAL of the taxes and fines you owe together with a cheque (post-dated April 5th 2025) OR Promissory Note (see below) separate from your regular day-to-day financial dealings (lockbox/safe/separate account – as this money NO LONGER BELONGS TO YOU).
As HMG is the Primary Beneficiary, the taxes & fines now belong to them. By the end of the tax year, if the conditions of the Trust are not met, the Trust is revoked and the money goes to the Secondary Beneficiary, which is you. You are also the TRUSTEE (the person who manages the Trust) and SETTLOR (the person who settles the debt with HMRC should they start to abide by international and domestic law).
STEP 6
When the HMRC or Council comes back to you with their reasons as to why the DEED has no basis in law, remind them of clause 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which states that; a person commits an offence if he invites, receives or provides money or other property, and knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect, it may be used for the purposes of terrorism, where terrorism is defined as the threat or use of firearms or explosions endangering life for a political or ideological cause.
A Note on Promissory Notes
In Fielding & Platt Ltd v Selim Najjar (1969), Lord Denning declared “We have repeatedly said in this court that a bill of exchange or promissory note is to be treated as cash. It is to be honoured unless there is some good reason to the contrary.”
A Note on Upholding the Law
We do not recommend you use the Trust Deed for speeding tickets, driving without insurance or anything which the legislative process considers illegal. We have opted to operate within their legislative realm and the aim is to hold the government to account when they are in breach of ratified international law or acting criminally.
TRUSTS are Legal Documents – Look after your Trust
A trust in England is a legal arrangement where one or more persons (the trustees) hold and manage assets (such as property, money, or investments) for the benefit of others (the beneficiaries). Trusts are established to provide legal protection for the trustor’s assets, to ensure those assets are used according to the trustor’s wishes, and sometimes to gain tax efficiencies or to protect assets from creditors.
- Settlor: The person who puts assets into the trust. They decide how the trust’s assets should be managed and distributed.
- Trustee: The individual(s) or corporate entity appointed to manage the trust’s assets. Trustees have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. They are legally responsible for the trust and must manage it prudently.
- Beneficiary: The person or persons who are intended to benefit from the trust. Beneficiaries can have a fixed interest or a discretionary interest where the trustees decide on the distribution.
- Trust Deed: A legal document that sets out the terms of the trust, including who the trustees are, the beneficiaries, how the trust should be managed, and how the assets are to be distributed.
Who can officially administer a trust in England:
- Professional Trustees: These can include solicitors, accountants, or trust corporations (like banks or specialized trust companies). They are chosen for their expertise in trust law, tax, and estate planning.
- Lay Trustees: Often friends or family members of the settlor. They might not have professional expertise but are trusted by the settlor to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests.
- Public Trustee: A government official who can act as a trustee when no one else is available or appointed, though this is less common for new trusts.
- Chartered Trust and Estate Planners: Professionals who specialize in trust administration, often holding qualifications from organizations like the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).
- Executor and Trustee Companies: These are businesses set up specifically to act as executors or trustees.
When administering a trust, trustees must:
- Follow the terms of the trust deed.
- Manage the trust with a duty of care, which means as if it were their own but with the beneficiaries’ interests at heart.
- Keep proper accounts and provide information to beneficiaries as required.
- Invest the trust’s assets prudently.
It’s worth noting that being a trustee carries significant responsibilities and potential liabilities, so individuals or entities acting as trustees should be well-informed of their duties or seek professional advice.
- Failure to Account: Trustees are required to keep accurate records and provide beneficiaries with accounts of the trust’s management. Failing to do so or providing misleading information is a breach.
- Neglect or Omission: Not taking action when action is required, like failing to collect debts owed to the trust, neglecting to insure trust property, or not defending the trust against legal claims when necessary.
- Commingling Funds: Trustees must keep trust assets separate from their personal assets. Mixing these can lead to confusion and potential loss of trust assets.
