Sovereign citizens
R S Bicknell made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department
The request was partially successful.
From: R S Bicknell
Dear Inland Revenue Department,
How many individuals in 2020 attempted to avoid taxation by claiming they were 'sovereign citizens' (e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada...) and that the IRD lacked authority to level tax? Please consider this to be an OIA request.
Yours faithfully,
Roger Bicknell
