Owners Must Pay Pet Funeral Taxes
A court ruling in Japan means monks performing funerals for people’s departed pets must still pay taxes on the services. Buddhist monks argued that the funerals are religious ceremonies and should be tax free as human funerals are, but judges didn’t agree. The ruling stated that the money monks make off the ceremonies is seen as taxable income.
It seems, at least for these Japanese pets, that it is true there are two things that can’t be avoided – death and taxes.
