Pass the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act!

    Conscientious objection to military taxation (COMT) is a legal theory that attempts to extend into the realm of taxation the concessions to conscientious objectors that many governments allow in the case of conscription, thereby allowing conscientious objectors to insist that their tax payments not be spent for military purposes.

    In the United States, legislation establishing a "Peace Tax Fund" has been proposed in Congress since 1972. As of 2021, the current proposal is called the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act.

    Similar legislation is being considered in many other countries, and an international campaign to encourage such laws began in 1975, but no country recognizes a legal right for a taxpayer to direct his or her taxes for only non-military purposes.
