head tax

gary smith made this Freedom of Information request to Northumberland County Council

The request was refused by Northumberland County Council.

From: gary smith

7 March 2010

Dear Northumberland Council,

Dear Sir or Madam,

Could you please provide written evidence of THE LAW that requires
flesh and blood human beings to pay council tax?

I have investigated www.opsi.gov.uk/ and various other websites to
find as much information as I can regarding council tax laws, but
can only find information on the STATUTES or ACTS that apply to the
PERSON or LEGAL FICTION, I cannot find a LAW that is applicable to
HUMAN BEINGS being justifiably taxed by a council or local
authority

I understand that, by legal definition, statutes and acts are
defined as legislated rules of a SOCIETY which have been given the
force of law, but in themselves are NOT LAW, and;

A society is defined as a number of people joined BY MUTUAL CONSENT
to deliberate, determine and act for a common goal.

So in essence the STATUTES only apply to those who give consent
i.e., are a willing member of the society.

I am looking for the LAW that applies to those human beings that
have not mutually consented or have withdrawn their consent from a
particular society, i.e., those humans beings that are no longer
subject to the rules of that society.

So please provide evidence of the LAW (not the statute) which
states that all humans (NOT PERSONS) are obliged to pay council tax
(including humans who are not willing consenting members of
society).

Please note, that if your response includes the word PERSON,
PERSONS OR INDIVIDUAL, you have failed to answer my request, as
persons are not flesh and blood humans, they are LEGAL FICTIONS and
the term INDIVIDUAL is defined as meaning a PERSON which is also
legal fiction NOT a human being , man or woman. Also, please do not
direct me to ACTS, STATUES, or LEGISLATIONS as these do not apply
to a Human being of flesh and blood who is in possession of an
Immortal Soul. So please take care when providing a suitable
response, I wish to know what LAW (not statute or act) obliges me,
a woman, or HOMO SAPIEN to pay council tax.

Please provide also, a copy of the LAW which states a council may
prosecute a human being of flesh and blood for Council Tax Arrears
in ordered to recover what they term a debt.

I require a written copy of the procedure used by the Council to
validate the information used to establish the arrears, i.e., if
LOSS as defined as under COMMON LAW JURISDICTION is the
justification for prosecution of a flesh and blood human, man or
woman, can the council provide written evidence for that LOSS with
full financial records and accounting to back up that debt, along
with contracts committing both parties showing equal consideration,
acceptance and signatures, when requested?
What process do they, the councils, use to distinguish between a
human being of flesh and blood and a PERSON for such purposes of
threatening prosecution?

Yours faithfully,without ill will, vexation or frivolity

Dear Harrison, John,

so i take it by your refusal to comply that there is no written law
so how can you enforce taking money off humans without true cause
this is against human rites and is unlawful you cant demand moneys
without showing proof that you have a lawfull rite to demand it

and to say i was asking for a oppinion i think that is a total cop
out and a easy way for your establishment to try and get out of the
truth you seem to forget you work for us ,we are not your assets
