Impose taxes to church owned businesses: yes or no

[M@rv|n]

Id say yes! Especially schools owned by the church coz they are asking for bigger fees than private owned ones. And where does those fees go? To the nuns shopping in Ayala's expensive boutiques and priests having luxury vehicles. Thats what you call their "VOW TO POVERTY".

wala diay na tax ang skols,hospitals owned by the church? .... karon pako dah .... OK kaau ko ani oi! ... pero kng ang simbahan jud mismo murag dli ko sugot ana kay wala na cla klaro income.

maybe you mean, walay fix income? Pero every month, maka generate sila ug collections nga minimum of minilyones! In Sacred Heart Church alone sa Jakosalem St, 5-6 million per month income nila.

religion is a form of business so it should be taxed. nag vow of poverty gud na cla.
Im a believer but I dont donate in churches, I prefer to give in my own terms.

murag lisod ni tuhoan dah although daghan richness na mo simba dha pero gamay ra man ang mass schedule nila which i think nga not enaf para maka generate ug 5-6 million nya per month pa jud which is dako ra jud kaau. pero 30-70 ko ani.

(Article VI, Section 28, par. 4). The Constitution expressly grants tax exemption on certain entities/institutions such as (1) charitable institutions, churches, parsonages or convents appurtenant thereto, mosques, and nonprofit cemeteries and all lands, buildings and improvements actually, directly and exclusively used for religious, charitable or educational purposes (Article VI, Section 28, paragraph 3); (2) non-stock non-profit educational institutions used actually, directly and exclusively for educational purposes. (Article XVI, Section 4(3))

You may call it nepotism but most of my relatives is working in BIR. One is a Head of the document processing section, others are examiners ranging from RO1-RO4 and my aunt is even an RDO (Revenue District Officer) thats the highest position in a BIR branch. As what they said, wala gabayad income tax ang mga schools owned by the church such as San carlos, San Jose, etc.... and Hospitals such as Perpetual Soccour. Ila gideclare as non-stock non-profit mao nang exempted sila. You may check it yourself, they could be wrong.

Ila gideclare as non-stock non-profit mao nang exempted sila.

..really amazing fact. they still have the guts to declare it as a non-profit business establishment when it's obvious that it garners a lot of profit.

.. for what?? where will the extra money go?? no wonder the priests and nuns of these business, so to speak, have the latest cellphones and cars.

[jojo_mouth2]

bisan gani land tax deli na sila gabayad, to think hinectaria ng ilang mga campuses and ang uban prime properties pa. sus kita na middle income earner magbayad pa gani ta sa land tax.

[chadix24_7]
