Do mosques get tax exempt status in the U.S.? |
In comparison to churches, is the tax status of a mosque the same? Yes, Islam is a recognized religion like any other mainstream religion is. As far as the government and tax law are concerned a mosque, a temple, and a church are no different from one another. Yes. Legally it is a religeous building. Yes, they are an officially recognized religion and therefor are exempt from tax collection Like any other religious or non-profit group they have to file with the IRS to be recognized as a "501(c)(3)" which is code for "nonprofit." So long as they are legit it doesnt matter what religion it is and doenst even need to be a religion, educational purposes and social service groups also can be 501c3 so long as they are really not making a profit and really are doing the purpose they say they are. If they qualify as a 501c3 then they are tax free. However, in some circumstances even non-profits have to pay taxes on 'unrelated business income." |
