If a mormon owns a business, does their business pay tithing on their profits and also their salary? I'm hoping that makes sense.

Individuals pay tithing on whatever they get (salary, bonus, etc.). Businesses don't.

After all, businesses can't get into the CK :)

Thank you for your help on this question

But but but Mormon Royal Mitt Romney said: Corporations are people too my friend! So ya never know what he might suggest if he makes it into the first presidency.

Business owners usually game the system. They use the business to make things tax deductible and make their income low while enjoying non income benefits like corporate cars, deductible travel and so on that standards wage earners pay for post tithing.

Yes there are rules about all those things but there are many benefits too.

This is why the GA's call their sallary a living stipend. So technically they get around $120,000 annually sallary but don't have to feel guilty enough to tithe the $12,000 that they are suppose to.

Somewhere there's a rule the apostles passed back in the early part of the 20th century wherein they excluded themselves from having to tithe on their increase.

It's good to be in charge!

Aren't they paid off the tithes of church members?

If that is so, wouldn't that equate to tithing tithing if they paid a tithe on their "stipend?"

Heaven forbid, it might actually go to help the poor?! (jkz)

Is that really true? One of my TBM friends even makes her young children tithe on money they make off lemonade sales, etc.--no joke. That's hardly a salary! But the Mormon GAs don't tithe? Is that well-known among church members?

I found the reference: https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/102-17-29.pdf

It's an article by D. Michael Quinn. The reference to the exemption of the afossils having to tithe is on the first column of the second page. It was a lot earlier than I'd remembered: 1845!!

There's a lot of fascinating information about the finances of the church. For instance, SPs used to get 2% of all the tithing paid in their stake, and some of them got retirement benefits!

GAs write books and sit on corporate boards, both of which generate income. That revelation I referred to means they have no moral quandary; they know ghawd wants them to keep all the money.

Wow look at the missed opportunity.

Corporations are people right?

So.... why not start a whole new tradition. Submit corporations names to the temple? I baptise for and in behalf of toys r us who is dead.

Think about the tithing revenue!

And they are missing the boat big time by not offering sealings to beloved pets!
