Salarium

In March of 1930, Gandhi set out on the Salt March.  Before doing so, he wrote to the British Viceroy announcing his intent to engage in disobedience:

If my letter makes no appeal to your heart, on the eleventh day of this month I shall proceed with such co-workers of the Ashram as I can take, to disregard the provisions of the Salt Laws.  I regard this tax to be the most iniquitous of all from the poor man's standpoint.  As the Independence movement is essentially for the poorest in the land, the beginning will be made with this evil.

It might seem odd at first blush to alert the authorities that you plan on breaking the law, but civil resistance is all about letting the people in power know what you're doing and why.  Gandhi's march and the aftermath certainly was a combination of NV tactics that helped achiev a long-term strategic end precisely because it provoked a response.

Attacking taxation is a common form of protest because taxes are often used to control behavior and, of course, the lifeblood of all regimes is tax revenues.  Since I brought up WTR earlier, I thought I might just briefly draw a parallel and note that the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee has more information, including a Peace Tax Return which is akin to Gandhi's letter.
