Unless the church engages in some business enterprise, all church expenses are taxed, unlike the current system. Compare the two:
Income tax: Church donations exempt from tax individual income tax and church income tax.
Fairtax: Church donations are not charged sales tax, but churches expenditures are taxed.
The fairtax makes churches a taxed entity, unlike the income tax which exempts churches.
"... all church expenses are taxed, unlike the current system ..."
Totally untrue!!! Church expenses in their "normal course of business" are tax free by use of the tax free cerificate the church would have. The statement is patently and absolutely incorrect.
And under the income tax the churches pay the embedded tax costs (9% per the FairTax opponents) on everything they buy.
