The church and mosques(if taxable) will soon retject this injustice. Buhari son will soon be flown abroad with tax payers money while those who pay the tax can't afford such. If it were to be a church member who can't afford a church school we criticize the pastors but here govt officials are taxing us against our will and enjoying what we can't enjoy. Any attempt to tax the church is an attempt to tax the people twice. 27 Likes |

Desyner: Is Buhari not paying tax too? He earns salary after tax has been deducted. And where is the evidence that Yusuf medical bill is offset from tax money? You guys just real out garbage from your anu just to prove a point. On the principle of equity, the Church and Mosque is a business avenue which must be taxed. In UK, churches and religion centres are been taxed. This is because most full term pastors and bishops are been paid salary. The church earn revenue from every possible means. Either by selling religion items or offering money for special prayers. All these are no different from corporate organizations that render services or Industries that sells manufactured products which are taxed. The Church property like every other Business properties should be taxed. The Sales revenue and Salaries of Pastors should be taxed too. There should no exception because both Church and it operators earn money. There is money flow that is taxable. These pastors or whatever they tag themselves should pay income tax just like every person. And the church which makes money from the congregation should also pay tax just like every other business or institution 145 Likes 11 Shares |

FOLYKAZE:You are speculating. How does the church make profit? You will probably speculate further in answering that question. FOLYKAZE:Where is the proof that Oyedepo and Adeboye buy jets with profit or make profit. You talk trash as if Oyedepo isn't on a salary. Keep getting emotional over simple contribution. What you are after is contribution of believers towards their beliefs. Govt can't do nada because everything inside the church is contribution and voluntary. 22 Likes 1 Share |

FOLYKAZE:Where does the proceed go? You tell me. You are only speculating further. Have you heard of scholarship they give out? Maybe you want the church to annouce it in radio so that unbelievers can overrun the real seed sowers.

I support 100% � Most churches will relocate their headquarters from Lagos inorder to reduce tax burden. MFM, deeperlife, Synagogue, Trem... But I'm curious, how will the income be determined, because churches won't disclose their income 11 Likes |

Beautiful Churches should be placed in a special taxable category. The tax is not based on their income but on the property they occupy. You can't have a 12-storey church in Victoria Island and refuse to pay tax cos it's a church. All these agbaya churches that have hundreds of parishes but don't have a single orphanage or hospital. Even their mediocre schools are designed to cater to the children of the rich. Guys, you know the funny thing, these Muslims and Christian leaders would soon issue a joint press release. When money is involved, no religion o. Greed unites them. Freeze freed the sheeples. Now, Ambode wan hammer the sheeples. 43 Likes 1 Share |
