So many churches have magnificent structures and building on so many acres and hectares of land and the general overseers who actually overseas this church pays money in order to sponsor missionary journeys, so I definitely think out of this returns the churches to pay money to government in order to develop the nation as well.<\/p>\n<p>However the taxes that should be paid by churches should be different from the regular ones that is it can be differently assigned in the constitution even if it is very low it will still go a long way if a lot of churches paid taxes because so many churches are worth billions of dollars so out of this money I don't think there's anything wrong for them to pay taxes like I said earlier the kind of taxes that they should pay me slightly be different from the type of taxes existing in different countries since a venture like a church earns money from different ways through grants and through goodwill it would also make sense to pay token in form of tax to the government because it is the normal thing to do so I see nothing wrong with it<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>So the taxes that can be paid by this churches may vary so I think the bigger the church is then the bigger the tax full sto However other smaller churches that may not have been earning or have no means of earning can be charged less or more, the fact that they're church doesn't mean they aren't citizens of a particular nation, it's a civic responsibility.<\/p>","appCategory":"governance","app":"musing\/1.1","appParentAuthor":"stallonmoney","musingPostType":"answer","appTitle":"Should churches be taxed by government?","musingAppVersion":"1.1"}" |
