Logicboy03: Only charities should be able to avoid tax. If your church is doing anything other than charity, it should be taxed


Same thing with mosques and temples

Apart from the catholics and maybe the anglicans, other churches i know about are no charities,many of this Nuclear family churches springing up daily are businesses, which only exist to make a man and his wife and family richer

Joagbaje: You can't tax churches for donations they Recieve . If you must tax churches then you must tax mosques too.

But taxation can only take place on church businesses . For example if a church runs commercial transport services , schools, hotel, banks , airline etc . Because those are for commercial purpose . They can be treated like any other company . But if for money given in church as donation it's untaxable .

hey bro, u and i know that mosques do not collect offerings or tithes, taking money from members is mainly a church thing, and many of this pentecostal churches are not involved in any charitable projects, even their pastor's books and dvds are sold to their members, it's high time the government started taxing this churches, the don't add nothing to people's live, the only subtract

Next time Mr president send that cow to Oyedepo's mansion or Okotie's farmhouse

What's their contribution to their states' development?, it could have been better if this award was given to a doctor or a teacher from that village

Falana is on point here, i once heard that winners chapel headquarters makes atleast 10million naira weekly, me thinks the government should tax that money since many of this churches are not involved in charity, even their school's tuition fees are not subsidised, so that their poor members can afford it.

Religious bodies are not
money-making ventures
stricto sensu. The
traditional churches, i.e.
the Catholic Church and
the Anglican Church, have
remained largely
conservative with respect
to the commercialisation
of religion. But some of
the prosperity churches
have to pay tax because
they are smiling to the
banks. For example, the
Pope doubles as the Head
of the Roman Catholic
Church worldwide and a
Head of State but he flies
the Alitalia Airline, the
Italian commercial airline.
The same goes for the
head of the Anglican
Communion, the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
But today, there is a craze
among the leaders of the
prosperity churches for
private jets. At home and
abroad, they pay
prohibitive fees for
parking the jets at local
and international airports.
Since they earn fat
incomes, they should pay
tax to the state for
development. It is unjust
and illegal to tax the poor
congregants, while multi-
billionaire pastors or
bishops are not subjected
to any form of taxation.
Many of us attended
missionary schools and
received treatment in
hospitals founded by
churches. The fees were
largely cheap and
affordable. But today, the
secondary schools and
universities established by
prosperity churches charge
tuition fees on commercial
basis. There is nothing
religious in those centres
of commerce. It is so bad
that the children of poor
members of the
congregation, who are
even exceptionally
brilliant, are driven away
from such institutions on
ground of poverty. My
wife was on the board of
one of those universities.
She pleaded that the
children of the poor be
given scholarship or made
to pay substantially
reduced fees. She was
asked not to bring
radicalism to the church.
She had to withdraw from
the board.
Happily, Bishop Hassan
Kukah and some religious
leaders have spoken
against the primitive
accumulation of wealth by
their colleagues. If
religious leaders make
money from their business
outfits, they should pay
taxes.
If a church is so rich to the
extent of presenting a jet
as birthday gift to its
pastor, it should be able to
pay appropriate taxes
commensurate with its
status as a rich religious
centre. It is clearly stated
in several parts of the Holy
Bible that tithes are for
taking care of the poor
and the priests, as well as
Levites who minister unto
the Lord. Tithes are not
supposed to be diverted
for the establishment of
commercial farms,
bakeries and other
businesses.

i'll be home alone, watching some horror movies
