Trust Tithes
Document Reference: WGP-2026-030 | Classification: Public | Last Updated: 30 August 2026
Trust Tithes are voluntary micro-contributions from citizens of the Kingdom of Weymarck attached to financial transactions. Alongside long-term yields from the Royal Weymarck Trust (RWT) portfolio, they form the two pillars of Crown revenue. The mechanism is codified under Article VIII of the Charter of Neutral Governance (1952).
The Kingdom levies no corporate taxes, no import duties, and carries no public debt. Trust Tithes are not taxes in the conventional sense: participation is voluntary, and the contribution is a micro-level amount attached to each qualifying financial transaction processed within the territory.

Crown revenue derives from two sources: long-term yields on the RWT portfolio and Trust Tithes. The Crown Office of Fiduciary Affairs is the territory's largest employer, with approximately 12,000 staff trained in ethics, confidentiality, and protocol. Financial transactions are processed through the Banque de Weymarck, which is 62% owned by the RWT.
The Trust Tithes mechanism is established under Article VIII of the Charter of Neutral Governance, promulgated 3 May 1952 (ABl. Weymarck 1952 St. 3 Nr. 7).
