Do you pay tax if you work for a registered charity?

Answer 1

Yes

ANSWER: It is unclear if the person who answered yes is actually the Secretary Treasurer or State Treasurer who are the only government officials with any legal authority to assess your tax liability. This person is entitled to his opinion but that is all it is, it is not a fact of law. If you work for a registered charity it is not a fact of law that you have to pay a tax. That the charity is "registered" and presumably as a 501(c)-3 or any other 501(c) status means the charity itself is subject to the rules and procedures of the I.R.S. but if you are an employee of this charity selling your own labor in exchange for money there is no clear statute, code, or regulation that makes you liable for or subject to any tax or revenue laws. What was just stated is not an opinion it is a fact of law. Unless your labor constitutes some taxed activity that has been clearly made liable by statute, code or regulation such as; manufacture or importation of tobacco or distillation or importation of alcohol, then perhaps you are liable and you should look at the law for yourself and decide. We are not a free people any more when we have to pay a "tax expert" or "legal expert" just so we know how to obey the law. The above poster has apparently gone through numerous tax postings and advocated the arguments of the "tax protester" who claims that none of us are liable to pay income tax. If you want to follow that rationale, plan on spending some time in the Federal pen. Or you can take the first answer, which is YES. No matter who you work for, you must pay income tax.

ANSWER: No claims were made that none of us are liable for income tax and no protestation of taxes were made. If you want to live in fear of an oppressive government then don't read the laws for yourself and don't you dare ask questions. Live in fear. The information is not found on numerous postings the information is found within the law. If the so called "tax expert" is one, then that person knows that he or she is lying to you. Who's telling the truth. Find out for yourself. Anyone who wants to believe that the information was received from internet web sites is welcome to their beliefs. If anyone wants to know if this willful liar of a poster above is right then don't you dare turn to taxprotester websites and arguments, just read the law in the same way I did. My employer once that that I must pay income tax and insisted he had the legal authority to withhold on my behalf. After numerous threats of legal actions, my employer was stunned and dumbfounded to discover that he actually had no legal authority to coerce me into a withholding scheme. The difference between my employer and this willful liar of a poster above is that the poster is not breaking any laws simply by exercising his freedom of speech and my employer was inextricably bound by his criminal actions. The threat of him going to jail and the threat of him losing his business in a civil suit is what woke him up. What will wake up the liar above? The tax expert also implies that my rationale is not sound. If you really want to know how sound the tax experts rationale is read his answer to the question: "What is the minimum age to file income tax". If nothing else you may be amused by this experts rationale, but be forewarned it's terrifying how ridiculous this experts reasoning is.
