Family refuses to pay Sh145m in taxes, says it is against God’s will

A pair of Christian missionaries in Australia were recently ordered to pay over Sh145 million to the Australian Taxation Office after failing to pay income tax because Australian taxation law was contrary to the law of Almighty God.

Fanny Alida Beerepoot and her brother Rembertus Cornelis Beerepoot were brought in front of a judge at the Supreme Court of Tasmania on Wednesday after they both failed to pay the said tax. Prosecutors showed that they pair had been served notices on two separate occasions, but they still failed to lodge their tax returns.
