Dodoma Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni inatambuliwa kama shirika linalosamehewa ushuru chini ya Kanuni za Mapato ya Ndani (IRC) § 501 (c) (3). Barua ya uamuzi wa Huduma ya Mapato ya Ndani (IRS) imeambatanishwa hapa. Michango yote, iliyotolewa na baada ya Machi 18, 2022, kwa Mhe. Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni hupunguzwa kama michango ya hisani kwa kiwango kinachotumika kwa kusimamia sheria za shirikisho na serikali.
IRS ilisitisha maombi ya msamaha wa kikundi na usindikaji mnamo 2020. Hivyo basi, Mhe. Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni haiwezi kuomba msamaha wa kikundi unaofunika makanisa ya ndani ambayo ni sehemu ya Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni.
Walakini, kampuni ya mawakili ya Gammon &Grange, PC, ambayo inawakilisha Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni, imetoa maoni yake ikisema kwamba makanisa ya ndani yamesamehewa ushuru kwa mujibu wa lazima isipokuwa katika IRC § 508 (c) (1) (A). Makanisa ya ndani hayatakiwi kuwasilisha maombi (Fomu ya IRS 1023) na IRS ili kufuzu kama msamaha wa ushuru chini ya IRC § 501 (c) (3). Michango kwa makanisa kama hayo nchini Marekani inastahili kupunguzwa kwa ushuru kwa mujibu wa IRC §170(b)(1)(A).
Wakati makanisa yanayohusiana yanazingatiwa moja kwa moja 501 (c) (3), wachuuzi fulani na serikali za mitaa wanaweza kuhitaji nyaraka za ziada kutoka kwa mtu wa tatu ili kuthibitisha hali yao ya 501 (c) (3). Makanisa ambayo yanakamilisha Fomu ya Uthibitisho wa Ushuru yatapokea barua rasmi kupitia barua pepe ndani ya wiki moja ambayo inaweza kutumika kuthibitisha hali yao ya 501 (c) (3).
Wakati IRS inafungua tena mchakato wa kuomba msamaha wa kikundi chini ya IRC §501(c)(3), Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni itawasilisha msamaha wa kikundi kama hicho ili kufunika makanisa ya ndani ambao ni washiriki wa Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni. Kuhifadhi fursa ya kujumuishwa katika msamaha wa kikundi uliotolewa kwa Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni Katika siku zijazo, Mhe.makanisa ya mitaa ambao ni waumini wa Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni haipaswi kuwasilisha maombi tofauti ya utambuzi wa hali ya IRC §501(c)(3), lakini badala yake inapaswa kutegemea msamaha wa moja kwa moja kwa mujibu wa IRC §508(c)(1)(A).

The Connectional Council leads the Global Methodist Church. A section of our website (still under construction) will be dedicated to their work. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Transitional Leadership Council led the denomination during its transitional phase, which ended on December 31, 2024. However, over a thousand people have had a role in giving shape to the formation of the GM Church and bringing it into existence. Clergy and lay people in Africa, Europe, Eurasia, the Philippines and the United States have sacrificially given of their time, talent, and resources to discern God’s will for the formation of the Global Methodist Church. The denomination is governed by the Book of Doctrines and Discipline (for more information, visit https://globalmethodist.org/what-we-believe/).
That the one God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – has created all things; that Jesus Christ, through the power of his cross and Resurrection, is the Lord and Savior of all the world; and that the Holy Spirit empowers the people of his church to worship and praise God and to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world in word and deed. (For a full accounting of the church’s core beliefs see its Book of Doctrines and Discipline).

Kwa hiyo, makanisa ya ndani katika Kanisa la Methodist Ulimwenguni watamiliki mali zao zote na mali zao kwa kudumu.
