Possibly harsh, but my pet hate!

Guess who is the largest employer in Australia who does not pay payroll tax, Catholic Church!

Largest property holder in the country that pays no land tax or council rates, Catholic Church!

Guess who pays no capital gains tax either?? You may see a pattern here!

Who owns Sanitarium and pays no tax whatsoever on their profits from this business activity, The Church of the Latter Day Saints!

Even those fruit loops, the Scientologists pay no tax at all!! Whilst the rest of us pay for services they wish to use gratis.

If you want to never pay tax again, become a minister of religion. It's easy!

Your church pays you a small salary (you need a bit of cash for the pub) say around $7,000 a year, no tax on that. Everything else you need in life, mortgage payments, food, cars, hookers, whatever, just have the church provide it as a fringe benefit! Guess what?? The only person exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax is a minister of religion!!! Never pay tax again in your life and be on as much income as you want!

We can thank the Scientologists for this sad state of affairs in Australia! A number of years ago we had a little tax case , Scientologists v Office of State Revenue.

This case set the rules for what constitutes a religion under Australian law, accessing all of the above tax benefits, it provides a definition of religion.

It's really easy! Believe in the supernatural, have some sort of ritual observences, have a religious text, and a couple of other minor conditions!!! It's shit easy!

I have no issue with giving organisations tax deductions for their charitable works, but exempting them from any responsibility towards the infrastructure cost of this country that we live in is obscene!

..and besides, the 26% of us in Australia professing to have no religion whatsoever do not wish to pay for those living in their god delusion, not to mention to support the inherent discrimiation against those who adhere to other delusions!

We should remove this discriminatory tax treatment! Level the playing field, now!

I'll take my soapbox home now!! ;-)
