Sellout to Scientology January 6, 1998,
The secret agreement, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, indicates Scientology bought its way out of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes for $12.5-million. In return, the IRS granted tax-exempt status to 114 Scientology-related organizations, dismissed tax penalties and liens against some church groups and stopped audits of 13 Scientology entities. That is not a deal; it is a sellout by an IRS that has been accused of running roughshod over less threatening taxpayers.
