The Religious Corporation

　

The religious corporation is known as the public service corporation; therefore, there is no taxation for them.　However, it does not mean any taxation for everything.　For instance, employees' salary is subject to taxation.　Moreover, religious activities such as prayer are not subject to taxation.　It is hard to distinguish from taxation or not.　Because of complex tax law, the tax office seems to have troubles with the religious corporation.　According to a survey from corporation tax, percentages that all kinds of public corporation have troubles are School Corporation 14%, Religious Corporation 8%, foundation 6%, and social welfare corporation 6%.　The average is 8%.　In addition, a survey from withholding income tax tells that about 80% of School Corporation, 70% of Religious Corporation, foundation, and social welfare corporation.　The religious corporation was additionally collected 2,000,000,000 yen.
