This course has been specially designed to equip Christian ministers to be aware and informed about all the potential tax issues that they may face in leading a congregation of believers. Topics such as Federal, State, and Local tax exemptions are discussed as well as payroll tax issues, Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) and other important taxation matters that affect churches.This is a fundamental course that every minister leading a church should take.
