Tax resistance is an action that demonstrates your objection to an institution that goes against your ideological principles, by financing another with which you share values. In no way do we promote tax evasion, which is why the full amount of taxes you are objecting to paying must be donated to another institution.
In response to the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis, the Consell per la República Catalana has launched the Republican Fund for Solidarity Action (FRAS). For this reason, we propose that the taxes that you object to paying to fund the expenses of the monarchy and a repressive state should be paid instead to the FRAS or to another institution or social entity that advocates republican values.
All the money raised by the Republican Solidarity Action Fund will be exclusively used to alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 health emergency by building a community-based network through the Consells Locals per la República.

Steps to make your objection by withholding tax:

The three amounts suggested at the top of this page represent, respectively, the sum total of the costs of: 1) royal and judicial repression; 2) police repression; and 3) royal, judicial and police repression combined. You can choose one of these three amounts to object to paying, or decide any other quantity to express your objection.

To object to paying some of the tax, you have to modify the draft version of your Income Tax Return. Therefore, it is important not to accept the draft version automatically, because the amount that you object to paying is included in a given box.

If you do your Income Tax Return through an agency, you just need to explain the procedure to them (by directing them to this website). If you do your tax return digitally, you have to go to Renta Web, the Treasury Department’s online tax return platform, and follow these steps:

- Click on ‘Summary of statements’
- Click on ‘Withholdings and other payments on account’. In field 0605 or 0606, write the amount that you object to paying that you want to deduct from your taxes.
- Keep the reference number: once the tax return is completed, the program connects with the Treasury Department and generates a PDF with a reference number that you must keep hold of.

You can donate the amount of the tax you object to paying to the Fons Republicà d’Acció Social (FRAS) or another institution and/or cause. If you donate it to the FRAS, it will currently be used to alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 health emergency by building a community-based network of mutual support through the Consells Locals per la República.

Remember that you must keep the receipt issued when the deposit is made.

If you choose to donate the amount of the tax you object to paying to another institution and/or entity, it is important that you specify the payment is being made as an “Objection to paying tax to the monarchy”

With this document, notify the Treasury Department of the amount that you have objected to paying, stating the reference number and attaching proof of the alternative payment.

You can submit the document and receipt to the Treasury Department in various ways:

In person (individually or in collective action). In the general register of any tax administration (you can go alone or in a group). No appointment is necessary. You need the original and the copy of the documents. They will stamp your copy to acknowledge receipt.
Electronically: You can submit it from the electronic office, to “Taxes and rates / other procedures gest tax” by clicking on“ Presentation”.

By certified mail: you can also send it by certified mail to any tax administration office.

If you receive a demand from the Treasury Department with a settlement proposal. you can:
