The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "LDS" or "Mormon" church) is a nonprofit religious institution, like most churches. As a non-profit, it does not pay taxes.

In nations where religious institutions pay taxes, the church pays taxes. The church does have for-profit business arms (such as Deseret Book, a religious book store) which do pay all taxes required by law. It also pays taxes on any real estate it may purchase or sell.

While the church does not pay unemployment taxes, it does have a program to provide employment assistance to those who are unemployed. The church operates several Employment Resource Centers throughout the world, where anyone can come to get extra training and practice their interview and resume skills, as well as search a large database of available jobs.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

The Church does pay all taxes, including unemployment taxes, as required by local law, for individuals who are employed by the Church in salaried and hourly positions.
