Donations received from members and well-wishers should not be taxed. But when a church engages in business (e.g., JIAM's matatus, the Catholic's Insurance company, ACK's and PCEA's rental flats, offices and meeting rooms etc), then the income from that business must be taxed.

Assuming that religious organisations are ran by forthright people, then I do not expect there to be any problem with compliance. All that KRA has to do is write to them and they should do the right thing.

But I guess my assumption is probably too much to expect!

I think the gava is stepping on dangerous grounds in as much as I don't support tithing. Utaanza kisikia kwa mahubiri, " oh you see why their flights are crashing, oh you see why their children are hanging themselves, oh you see ..."

unsolicited income is never taxed, its like taxing wakenya pamoja or red cross.

Read intimidation right. Blasphemy?

Moses removed his sandles at the holy place. Should pastors also insist on christians removing their shoes in entering the church? If we have to go by the old tetament as with tithing!
