Give unto Caesar, churches urged

THE Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) has urged churches to comply with the country’s tax laws to boost economic activity and support the fiscus.

ZCC secretary-general Wilfred Dimingu told NewsDay that if government orders taxing of churches, then the institutions of worship should comply.

This follows calls by economists that institutions such as churches must be taxed to enhance the country’s revenues.
