TAX RETURNS FOR MINISTERS OF RELIGION

Ministers of Religion are subject to the obligation to submit a Tax Return annually as required by law. In completing your tax return, our experience and understanding of Ministerial duties means that we know what you can claim and can enhance your position by ensuring that nothing is missed out. Ministers of Religion by nature of their vocation can receive income in various ways. We can help in identifying how best to complete your tax return, and to arrange your tax affairs to your advantage.

We can save you and your organisation some good money and help you claim back cash. If you can answer yes to the following questions, then get in touch with us:

  • Are you a Minister of Religion?
  • Would you like to pay less tax legally?
  • Would you like save money for your Ministry?
  • Would you like to claim back on your expenses?
  • Do you receive salaries or wages?
  • Do you live in your own property?

Every specialist occupation carries with it special rules which are enshrined in the Taxes Acts that covers it and the Ministers of Religion are no exception to this. The tax treatment of their income and expenses are governed by special rules. MC Chartered Accountants has the required skills in charity, charitable entities and church accounts. We are confident in dealing with the tax affairs of Ministers of Religion. Most of the rules arise out of the historic treatment of Ministers and their place in the community: these rules, older than the tax laws themselves, can be used by any Minister of Religion.
