“Victory for Freedom for Ministries and Tax Exempt Organizations”

Christian Newswire: “Last year [Tarrant County Appraisal District] TAD denied a request from Kenneth Copeland Ministries for religious exemption from certain property taxes mainly related to aircraft belonging to KCM. Part of the requirement for this exemption was a request for the names, positions and salaries of each of the ministry’s employees (nearly 600 persons) even though the director of the Appraisal District stated publicly that this requirement was not law and that he and his staff never read the documentation . . . KCM took a stand for religious freedom and determined it was not appropriate to surrender salary information of individual employees and invade their right to privacy.”
