WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY TAX.



The general overseer for Counsel of God Church at Afrancho, Rev. Osei Ofori has warned the government to rescind its decision to tax churches in this country.

He revealed this to the press today, adding that, if the government can afford to pay extra responsibilities by the churches, they should go on with their taxation.

"I will only support the government when it comes to taxation while taxing those business pastors, because not all of us have turned the church to business centers and truly, we help the government through the social interventions and others. They can proceed if they wish", he emphasized.

He stated that, majority of the churches have established hospitals, universities and other business - he made mention of some - which provide direct employment for the public. So he believe there is no need for the church to pay extra tax.

"Some churches have provide hospitals, schools, etc which provide employment for both members and non-members of the church. Those people also pay tax, so why should church pay tax again", he quizzed.
