Telegraph: The Italian Catholic Church will be stripped of an historic tax exemption from 2013 after the government upheld a divisive decree under close scrutiny from EU watchdogs. In 2010 the EU opened an investigation into whether tax breaks enjoyed by some Church properties in Italy could be classed as illegal state aid. The Church currently pays tax on several properties it owns that are commercial enterprises but is exempt if at least some of the activities on the property are "non-commercial" - for example a chapel in a hotel. "The regulatory framework will be definite by January 1, 2013.
A church should never be taxed because that would be double taxation. I paid for my house therefore it cannot be taxed again -except under the property tax law.
ReplyDeleteI paid for the church. A certain amount of that church property, each pew I sit in, each part of the kitchen, the classrooms etc, I helped pay for and so did everyone else donating to it. This should please the communists -it's their theory to put everyone's money in one fund and all use it so that's what we do! I paid tax on my money once and should not have to be taxes again.
PLEASE GOD HELP US!!!
