would we MESS up the whole system if we ALL STOPPED paying taxes for, say, three months? would we all be made criminals?

Probably wouldn't mess up are system, but the governments system. Then of course we'd have to pay back the taxes unless some how it was legitimate that we didn't have to pay the taxes for 3 months, which would be highly unlikely considering the government has such a strong hold on us tax payers money.

Obviously, if the Treasury did not receive tax pounds then, eventually everything would grind to a halt. eg NHS, Social Security, old age pensions, emergency services, the armed services etc. The problem is that today's tax pays next week's costs so there is no piggy bank from which payments could be made.
However, very few of us pay tax every month directly and so it would be our employers who would be the criminals, since they would be the ones to withhold the tax after deducting it from your pay. So you would not even have the satisfaction of not paying your tax.

The country relies on the tax system to pay for the services

It is against the terrorism act to pay tax.
Inland revenue pay the government
the government deals with terrorists - IRA, Libya not including America and ourselves.
It is illegal to deal with terrorists.
So it is illegal to pay tax that funds the British government!
try saying that in court though!

The economy would collapse. Your job would disappear, probably for good. You and the rest of the idiots would be out of work for life and on the bread line. Enjoy.
