Don't u take your family to church?

nervorum:
Are you sure he committed fraud or you read it somewhere? The reality maybe different (i'm not his church member).

Obviously, leaders need to up their games with respect to administration, accountability and governance compliance, in church business.

Its not very easy to run a big church in the UK, especially cos they are registered as charities and the Charity commission has regulatory oversight. Some churches are facing a tough time with the govt, in a society that is happily non-religious. No doubt some churches are 'for-the-money', thgh many genuine ones have been caught up, and cast in the light of fraud. A few instances are, where, even muslims have been appointed to manage churches, just cos they fail to comply with governance guidelines, some of which frankly speaking, may not be fit for churches, since they are not companies per se.

Govt control over churches (and invariably a potentially persecutory tool) , is subtle. UK church leaders who are genuine servants of God need to adapt. The era of founding fathers being the 'emperor' is over.

In foreign countries, they pay tax, conform to good conduct.

But down here, they behave anyhow

Sirjamo:
Despite this coming from UK, some people would still find a way to link it to a certain retired Major General. They would call it ' Islamisation agenda.'

Jaynom:
D guy left UK Since! My guy is under investigation

GrabHisBalls:
Do churches pay tax over there? Won't that be double taxation on the part of the government?

Zooposki:
You want the wife to bear the responsibility, while the money has been going to the husband’s account?

Ilekokonit:
Churches as registered charities do not pay tax in the UK and the government goes further to allow them reclaim from the Govt the tax Tithe givers had already paid to the Govt on that element of their income.

The tax liability comes where payments / expenses / benefits made to church employees are deemed a benefit in kind which is taxable on all employees irrespective of who your employer is. An example is if the church gives an employee free accommodation etc.

And even though the tax liability for a benefit in kind is payable by the receiving employee, the employer - i.e. the church - has a legal duty to inform the Tax man of this benefit in kind.

degamemaster:
Can't you reason beyond your nose? Don't you know that his ex wife is in control of the UK branch and as such may want to organise all these things just tarnish the church and the ex husband's image? Never rule out this possibility.
