I see no reason why they should not be taxed.Majority of the churches in Nigeria are fast turning into coporate entities.Very soon,they will become legal entities. 1 Like |

drestoneokuta: What are you people saying? Who study accountacy here? What category of tax wil u place this sort of a thing? How is money from the church generated? Is the church a profiting organisation? If no who taxes a non profiting organisation? That aside, tithing is an obligation for us to God, giving our first fruit, 10 percent of "INCREASE" is for the elevation and building up of the church, and you people want to tax GOD? For an organization to qualify as a non-profit, it has to earn it. Is obvious most of our religions organizations are profit generating entities. The onus is on them to prove how they use their excess revenue for God. God said, what you do for the least able of my children, you did for me. So to qualify as a non-profit charitable entity, your books have to be opened for verification of your claims. The society have a need to know here and now. We can't wait for your rendition to almighty later. Amortization, and depreciation credits can be allowed for fixed projects expenses like buildings, vehicles, etc. The social responsibility of a non-profit organizations is to help elevate the down trodden members of the society who can hardly help themselves. Like the handicaps, disasters victims, the sick, infirm, incarcerated,incapacitated,scholarships for desiring scholars and temporary room and board for homeless and transients etc. Not to enrich any individual. If you want to get rich go open a bank or any other wealth generating concern. Using the label NON_PROFIT to generate self wealth is cheating. Churches and mosques will not be taxed if, they use all their revenue generated appropriately for charitable interests. 2 Likes |
