Churches, mosques now to pay tax – CONFAB
DELEGATES at the on- going National Conference on tuesday voted that henceforth, Churches and Mosques will be paying tax to the federal government, just as they also agreed that Federal and state governments should no longer fund Christian and Muslim pilgrimages to the Holy lands.
These were part of the resolutions reached yesterday during discussions of report of Religion Committee.
The decision to make religious bodies pay taxes came up when a delegate representing Civil Organizations, Mallam Naseer Kura during his contribution on the report had raised it that religious leaders were making much money and should be taxed.
