Tax resistance

A tax resister resists or refuses payment of a tax because of opposition to the institution collecting the tax. Often tax resistance comes from pacifists, conscientious objectors or members of religious groups, such as the Quakers, who choose not to fund violent government activities. It has also been a technique used by nonviolent resistance movements, such as India's campaign for independence led by Mahatma Gandhi.

Unlike tax protesters (who deny that the legal obligation to pay taxes exists or applies), tax resisters typically recognize that the law obliges them to pay taxes but still choose to resist taxation.
