i hope the Muslim will not kill for this

FOLYKAZE:


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 Moneypenny. 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

Are you not an okija shrine devotee?

They didn't mention your faith in this matter.

tohpahz:
Yaaaaay.. Finally���

pauljumbo:
The focus is church

Desyner:
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.

Desyner:

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. You guys just assume thing and get emotional over the strides the churches are making.

Mariangeles:
Your writeup is filled with CHURCHES and PASTORS... why?

powerkey:


All you Yoruba Muslim Antichrist, God will soon roast you like bole

danvon:
So the House of God is now a business, not surprised at all though, always knew something was wrong with Ambode, it's now we'll seperate the Church from the Business

About time! Best news of 2017 after engagement of my 56yr old Uncle

hatchy:
Supported!

Lagos is a model state of a true federalism. That is how it should be.

powerkey:
The plot to repopulate Christianity in Nigeria is starting with Lagos state and sincerely I'm not surprised....

Yorubas don't repent at all. There is no true Yoruba believer. No matter how they claim, they can't do without their their otumokpo.

stonemasonn:
How will they calculate the tax for each church/ mosque?
And what about churches/ mosques that don't generate a kobo?

MrMcJay:


House of which God?
Even Jesus Christ and his apostles were taxed not to talk of your Churches.

Or is your church bigger than Jesus Christ?

MrMcJay:


How many shrines have 10,000 capacity buildings in Lagos?

Shebi you're the light of the world? Now, you want to hide under a bushel? God forbid.

Go and pay your tax

adetayo234:


Don't tell me you don't know that your pastor is making a lot of profit from your head.

cstr1001:
Dosen't make sense.

Even in places where the tax regimes are very strict, churches are not taxed , let alone a corrupt shitt-hole like Lagos.

I know i speak against extravagant clergies, but then Churches are like NGOs.

Their donations are voluntary.

Lagos state can as well tax the beggars on the street, or NGOs, or orphanages.

Mariangeles:
The Church will continue to grow and there's nothing you or anybody can do about it.

MrMcJay:


When you won't read the post before typing nonsense. The tax is not on the church income as that is exempt from taxation by the Companies and Allied Matters Act.

However, the tax would be based on the properties occupied by those churches. Na RCCG go suffer am pass. You claim not to make profit but you're buying multi billion naira properties. Meanwhile, your members are in IKEJA General hospital unable to pay hospital bills and waiting for divine intervention.
