Religious tax law repeal 'won't affect' Samoan govt revenue

TV1Samoa reports the Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry for Customs and Revenue, Matafeo Avalisa Fautuaali'I, saying that since the introduction of the law in 2018, a total of 180,000 US dollars has been collected from church ministers.

Despite that she said government revenues would not be affected.

The law was introduced by the then HRPP government and only one of the 38 Christian denominations protested.
