So the head of a church (priest/preacher/pastor, whomever calls them self father) calls in asking why he’s getting charged taxes on apps in his app store. Says he bought two new iPhone 17 pro max’s tax free (one for his wife one for him) and his computers should be tax free because “they are for the church”. Your apps aren’t for the church. Your phone is not for the church, God didn’t demand you answer a phone or download an app… get back to your damn church and pay your sales taxes person who points his phone at a Donald Trump tie and thinks you are the person who isn’t the mooch
Tax exempt status for religions applies to federal income tax. Sales tax is per state and state taxes vary between states.
I’m not a tax account or attorney, but maybe if they keep the receipts they can file there taxes and report it and maybe get the money back.
Since taxes are filed every year is this the first year they’ve been a pastor or whatever and doesn’t know? If it is their first year and they’re complaining about taxes on apps and phones or whatever, then it sounds like theyre kind of trashy to be honest.
Unless it’s a very small church it should have a finance admin to manage all business/church expenses. Just need to get the receipts and they can reimburse you from church funds. i have even submitted screen shots.
I would imagine the overhead for maintaining non profit or tax exempt status takes more than one form in April. So it should be deligated out.
Trashy is an understatement. They have a phone and a phone plan and they want even more.
