Do Churches Pay Tax? by write2obi(m): 1:38pm On Sep 09, 2013
Thou I believe non-profitable organisations like churches are not supposed to pay taxes, but churches these days are very much profitable especially here in Nigeria, Churches now setup Schools, Hospitals that yields millions, General Overseer's now cruising around the world in the finest jets.
Do you all think they should start paying taxes?

Those business moguls are supposed to be behind bars for scam and deceit of the common Nigerian.

Taxing them will only encourage their seedy, dubious and shady "church" businesses making it look right.

I am of the view, that these robbers should be made to face criminal charges in court when they are caught. Yea smiley

Well i do feel your pain, but they are not really doing anything legally wrong, not like they point a gun to our head and collect our money, they just shout "hallelujah" and we part with our money grin . All am saying is since they now run it like businesses they should be made to pay taxes like other businesses.

hehehe i didn't know someone must point " a gun to our head and collect our money" first before they are called robbers, fraudsters, scammers, etc. Like seriously? then we are in trouble.

If this world was sane, we would see these acts for what they are. Nothing less than extortion.

You know why i feel, these modern day entrepreneurs in Christendom should be jailed, cos they are taking from "us" way too much than they are giving out. "We" part with our hard earned money and what do we get in return, lies upon lies, saying things God never said. And do they get at "us" hell yes! more than we can even imagine. "We" the gullible and faithful members suffer grossly from their wickedness.

Now is that fair? smiley

Are u justifyin the point that it has become a business venture? Then I guess they should be arrested for tax evasion because even christ said give to ceasar what belomgs to him.

grin but before that, don't you think they should be made to pay taxes for all the money they are making from the various business they are running under the church umbrella?
