SUBMARINE: Yes we must pay our taxes just as Jesus instructed us. But may I ask the ogun state govt, the air they breath do they pay for it.? Lets be wise enough to avoid unknowing showing ungratefulness to God.

SUBMARINE: 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.

Standing5: Jobless tax collectors.
What does the sch benefit from the government? They pay light bills, produce their own water, tar their own road.

Delafruita: how did his asset become so large?irrespective of how large his assets are,should the government be deprived of its due?besides acording to the report below,they owed for over 7years.so in seven years,daddy G. 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"

jude d writer: When Jesus was told to pay tax, he told peter to catch a fish n in it's mouth he will find money 2 pay his tax; if Jesus knew d importance of tax-paying, how much more winners chapel-1 of d richest churches in d world? They should stop insulting christ

software man: 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.

Revenue authorities anywhere in the world , have an overbearing attitude .
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

Delafruita: what's this one saying

SUBMARINE: Must u guys insult me because of my opinion. Those insulting me did I say they shouldnt pay tax.? No, what I did is to appeal to the govt to see religious bodies as partners in development and probably insist they provide affordable best of services...
