Clergy Taxation
If you receive income as a Minister of Religion then you must complete annual Tax Returns. Mintaplan has specialised in clergy taxation (for all denominations) since we were founded back in 1978. For ministers who use our Personal Tax Service we use forms which were designed specifically with clergy in mind. We can also provide our clients with a “Ministers’ Worksheet” which can be used to assist with record keeping throughout the year.
We assist our clients with the following issues which are particularly pertinent to clergy
