Christian Church of Samoa

Many Samoan pastors now meeting income tax requirement

The Samoa Observer reported one of them said he believes what he is doing is the right thing to do.

The minister, who did not want his name revealed, said he thinks it is just a misunderstanding on the part of the church about the importance of paying taxes and contributing to the development of the country.

The Ministry for Revenue last week confirmed with the newspaper that 18 ministers have been paying taxes.
