Italian minister backs tax on Church property

Italian minister backs tax on Church property

09 December 2011 14:32 (UTC +04:00)

Baku - APA-Economics. "The church should pay the IMU for commercial activities," said Cooperation and Integration Minister Andrea Riccardi, who is also the founder of the influential Catholic community Sant’Egidio, APA reports quoting AFP.

Riccardi was referring to a municipal property tax that is part of draconian austerity measures put forward this week by Prime Minister Mario Monti, who has asked Italians to endure tax hikes to avoid the state going bankrupt.

The Church has defended itself saying that many of its properties have charitable purposes -- including soup kitchens and community centres.
