Hard to believe the Dominican government wants to tax churches. IMO, they are the backbone of a civilized society and play a huge role.

It's bad enough the proposed 18% tax also applies to coffins

In my opinion, churches that are run as profit making organisations, as many evangelical churches are, should be taxed on profits like any other business.

Agree, if you can define profit.

This is the one thing I would have kept, but perhaps it will return in the next version of fiscal reform. All churches should be treated the same.
