Interestingly, the Brits are saying that if the facility isn’t used for charitable purposes to benefit the general public, then it is not an exempt facility.

I don’t know that there were any laws like this in place during Jesus’ day, do you?

The mormons willingly went into England, ironic since our forefathers fled England due to religious persecution...

I'm curious as to where you got this information.

The UK House of Lords opinion that was appealed to the European Human Rights Council in France was Gallagher (Valuation Officer) v. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

In rendering an opinion in Gallgaher, the five-Lord Appellate Committee relied on a 1964 UK case styled Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints v. Henning (Valuation Officer) AC 420.

Both Henning and Gallagher held that a LDS Temple was not exempt from council tax because the Temple was not a “place of public religious worship.”

I find nothing in the opinion mentioning charitable purposes or the lack thereof as affecting exemption.
