Rules on religious affairs
Print Edition
Revised regulations on religious affairs went into effect in China yesterday, curbing profit-seeking activities by faith groups.
The updated rules reminded religious groups, schools and venues of their nature as non-profit organizations and forbade any organizations or individuals from profiting from sponsoring the building of religious venues.
Groups and individuals are banned from investing in or contracting for operation of religious venues, and they may not carry out commercial promotion in the name of religion, said the regulation.
It also stipulated that religious groups, schools, venues and their staff should register at taxation authorities and declare their taxes.
In recent years, some temples have become too commercialized, harming the healthy development of religion and triggering corruption.
A Taoist temple in central China鈥檚 Henan Province was shut last November after it was found to have sought profits in the name of religion.
