I have been offered the opportunities to start doing parish talks or missions on a semi-regular basis, starting at this Lent. I plan on charging a modest stipend to help with expenses and to further the ministry. My question is, do I need to register this as a business with the government or are there any important tax considerations to make? Should I have a contract created or, as I prefer, make agreements on the good word of the priest of the parish? I know this isn’t an accounting or business advice service, but I figured the apologists on staff offer this same service and might have insight before I get going.
