Jehovah’s Witnesses to pay Taxes of $82,000,000 in France

Have you even wonder what it will feel like if government decides to levy property tax on you that is way above the value of your property? Everyone would say that is absolute insanity but it is happening in France.

The French government sought to obligate the Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses of France to pay 58 million Euros (over $82,000,000 US), which far exceeds all the assets of the Association. No other major religion in France has ever been submitted to such excessive taxation. 

However since no one in France is sane enough to see this as massive injustice, the Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses of France chose to take the case to the European Court of Human Right, which
ruled that the government of France violated the rights of Jehovah’s Witnesses when it attempted to impose a retroactive 60% tax on all religious donations made by Jehovah’s Witnesses in France between 1993 and 1996.

Hey,Current stock market conditions are not favorable for safe investors. Market is trading highly volatile. Never ignore using stoploss while doing stock market trading.Day traders should keep very close eye on Nifty and its important levels so that traders can earn money rather than losing it. Keep posting<a href="www.Buzzingstreet.com" title="Buzzingstreet"> Buzzingstreet </a>

 Nice blog would like to add that NSE and BSE are one of the most superior stock exchanges  of India. If you wish to earn good money from the share market then you need to understand  the functionality of the stock market properly.

 Indian stock market offers lot of earning opportunities still many less traders earn from  it. Now the question is who earns from the share trading? To be honest only those who rely  on stock research as no one can earn big by speculating in the market.
