Background of the Study
Religious organizations play a vital role in the social, economic, and cultural development of communities. However, the taxation of these organizations remains a contentious issue in many regions. In Monguno LGA, religious bodies, such as churches and mosques, often benefit from tax exemptions, but there is ongoing debate over whether they should be taxed for income generated from commercial activities. This study aims to examine the taxation of religious organizations in Monguno LGA, focusing on the legal framework, the economic impact, and the social implications of taxing religious institutions.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the significant influence of religious organizations in Monguno LGA, the taxation of these institutions remains poorly understood and under-researched. While religious groups benefit from tax exemptions, questions arise about their involvement in income-generating activities and whether these should be subject to tax. This study will investigate how religious organizations are taxed in Monguno LGA, if at all, and assess whether the current framework is equitable and effective.
