The Living Faith Church Worldwide, known as Winners Chapel, is in trouble with the Ogun State Government, following an accusation of tax evasion and alleged violent attack on officials of the state government who were at the church premises to effect the payment of outstanding taxes. The outstanding taxes cover six years according to Ogun officials.http://premiumtimesng.com/news/144275-winners-chapels-school-in-tax-evasion-mess-as-staff-assault-ogun-tax-officials.html 1 Like |

How is the country suppose to function if people refuse to pay taxes. Those mega churches in Nigeria most especially , put serious pressure on infrastructure and they are getting a free ride on taxpayers Evade taxes in the USA ,UK ,Canada etc and you will see whether your doors ,are not knocked down ,very early in the morning. In fact , my employers have just given out a raid warning to all employees. We have been given a list of the phone numbers of company lawyers , top management , IT people etc . This ensures that they are on top of the situation because when they come, they will cart away computer ,drives and files for scrutiny. If found guilty, the company could end up paying double the amount of tax 1 Like |

Waiting for response from the church? Of course you can guess what it will be. They won't address the real issues. What they would most likely do is to play the religious card or look for some kind of extraneous sentiment to cling to. That is nigeria for you. People break the law and still play the victim, before you know it nobody will be discussing the'real causative reasons again as the discussion would have turned religious or ethnic. 5 Likes |

Although Christ told us to pay our tax, I believe a wise govt should avoid taxing businesses of religious organizations, seeing it as their way of apprenciating God's mercy. |

O never bothers to know that a school founded by his church which charges almost 200,000 naira for a JSS1 student hasnt paid taxes. "What they owed is below two million naira,it is from 2003 to 2010.We have sent several notices to them.The first one was in 2010 followed by that of 2011 and the last was in May 2013.Our men were explaining to them when some personnel including their legal officer and accountant came out and in the course of discussion,our men were beaten blue black and our equipment were destroyed" 3 Likes |
