Message | PSS will never agree to a tax on faith. This blanket solution will funnel money from genuine religions into the coffers of the state. PSS is also unaware of any abuses of the current system. |

Message | RLP likewise support the exemption of religious organizations from taxation. If there are any abuses the PP is aware of, we suggest that they be brought to the atttention of the Justice ministry or our own Finance ministry for swift prosecution under the existing laws. |
