Group Seeks Input On Tax Issues Relating To Religious Non-Profits

Last January, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability at the request of Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, ranking member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, formed an independent national commission to study accountability and policy issues affecting churches and religious organizations. (See prior posting.) Yesterday that commission, the Commission on Accountability and Policy for Religious Organizations, announced that it has added a public input page to its website.That page asks members of the public for input on 17 separate issues relating to taxation of churches and conditions imposed on religious organizations claiming non-profit tax status.
