Abstract
This study examines legal regulations and major issues related to income taxation of religion in the income tax law enacted from 2018, and examines the right improvement method. The purpose of this study is to propose an improvement plan through the analytical review of the legal issues related to the income of religion in 2018 and the main issues of taxation. The results of this study are as follows: First, it is the best way to define religious income as a separate item in earned income. Second, it is the best way to apply the deduction system for earned income in the application of deductible expenses. Third, precise and transparent reporting on income of religious persons is required, and a measure should be enforced to impose withholding tax obligations. Fourth, in order to restore transparency and reliability of expenditure related to religious activities, it should be expanded to submit details of total income and expenditure of religious groups. This study provides practical implications for the related field research by providing the starting point and basic data of the discussion on the income taxation system of the religious person.
