I think he’s actually saying he won’t make any payments on anything that is taxed during those 40 days. After all, gas is taxed and he plans on consuming it during the 40 – he just won’t be paying for any during the 40.
If he pays his elec and phone bill late, then he will still be able to claim he made no tax payments during the 40.
