Tax changes affect churches
The start of a new tax year in April brought with it a number of changes. Here are two aspects that may affect churches.
Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches
From 1 April 2016 the National Living Wage was introduced for employees aged 25 and over. The National Living Wage is now £7.20 per hour which is an increase of 50p per hour. This means churches that are employing a cleaner, administrator or pastor in this age bracket have a responsibility to increase their pay to this higher rate.
