California to Tax Some Church Businesses Starting Next Year
California will begin taxing certain church operated businesses on January 1, under a 1969 law. Unrelated revenue from activities like movie theaters would be taxed, while directly church related services remain exempt. The law requires churches to list income sources and is supported by Sen. Anthony Beilenson. The issue echoes national debates and a Supreme Court case challenging tax exemptions for houses of worship.
