A Quick Guide to Avoiding Paying Military Spending with Your Taxes

  • If you disagree with the fact that EUR 20 billion of the budget is for military expenditure, there is a possibility that it will not be paid.

12 June 2018 - 12:58

There are four steps that must be followed, as the tax objection has made public:

  1. Cancel if the Treasury sends a draft. Reject the statement he prepares.
  2. Choose the project to which you want to give the disobedient quota. The amount of money disobedient to the Treasury, select which associations to donate to. Activist Arrate Vivar calls this position “nonviolent resistance.”
  3. How can we stop paying military expenses? When making the income statement, divert an amount of money to denounce the military spending of the Spanish State. Each person chooses how much money to put up the obstacle. “This is an easy process for those who don’t buy a house or invest a lot,” say the entrepreneurs. In addition, it has been suggested that the Provincial Council of Bizkaia does not “pay too much attention”.
  4. Make the reasons public. Why don't you look like you want to send it to military spending? Reasons must be written in a letter. The Charter is very important so that this disobedience is not understood as tax fraud.

“Disobeying unfair rules is democratically sound and completely ethical,” the activists say.
