Bonk Job Evading Taxes


Religious tax evasion

"Since 1997, Hovind has engaged in financial transactions indicating sources of income and has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1 million per year during some of these years, which would require the filing of federal income taxes," Schneider said.

Hovind said he suspected he is being targeted because of his religious beliefs.
No, he's being targeted because of his tax evasion.

Stoll said the IRS allegations were "based on misperceptions."

"They don't understand how the church is created and registered, how it operates under church law, which is entirely separate from secular authority," Stoll said.
Given the fact that it's not a church, it's an amusement park, these bonk jobs don't seem to understand how businesses are created and registered. Regardless, even churches aren't exempt from secular authority.

Hovind also has a May 18 court date on three misdemeanor charges stemming from his refusal to get a building permit. He objects to the permit process as an undue expense on his church.
The guy is making million-dollar-a-year deposits into his accounts and his complaint is that the fees for building permits are an undo expense? Gimme a break. This is just another case of religionists thinking that they're above the law.
