Are You Paying Sales Tax on Gas Utilities?

Is your church paying sales tax on gas utilities?  

Here is how to find out. Click Here. 

Every bill paid - of all types -- should be reviewed for taxes owed.  Churches should contact their utility provider and indicate they are a church and tax-exempt and find out what steps need to be taken to stop the taxes.  Some taxes are unavoidable, others should not be levied on tax-exempt entities.
