Why are you all still paying taxes? Your country was built on #notaxationwithoutrepresentation
In modern times, to do this (which you can), get your workplace to deduct taxes from your pay by filling the exempt form in HR and letting them know you will pay your own.
Dont spent that tax money! Deduct it from pay and put it aside so it's there when the taxman come after you. Take them to court and inform judge you aren't skipping tax but withholding it until you get fair REPRESENTATION.
'Cause I don't think it'll work out if I just stop paying taxes to make a point. It's not exactly a voluntary thing, and tax withholding isn't an excuse.
When you get hired, you file a particular tax form that allows the company to deduct income taxes on your behalf (THIS IS WHAT YOU VOLUNTEER FOR). You have the right to opt out of it and pay taxes on your own. People do it all the time.
Stop paying & withholding tax are 2 very different concept. You are not refusing to pay. You are withholding pay until you have fair representation from your government.
This is what #notaxationwithoutrepresentation means!
You do have the right to opt out of that and pay taxes on your own, and as long as you pay. The government doesn't care if you pay or the company pays on your behalf.
That form is called a tax withholding form, but just to be clear. It doesn't sound like that's what you're talking about. You're talking about withholding taxes until you get representation, and that's not gonna work.
The government will view it exactly the same as not paying them, and it will hurt.
The good news of his scenario is that we would have the money to pay it after the IRS gets mad. But due to the withholding, and if done at scale, could cripple how they operate and they could be forced to acquiesce to the people

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ask_Lawyers/comments/1r86cok/is_it_actually_feasible_for_citizens_to_withhold/ Here a bunch of lawyers talking about what you're suggesting.
It's an old form of protest, but until such time as we're in active revolt. I would not recommended it.
I don't think it'll quickly bite you in the ass, but it will eventually. Don't mess with the IRS.
