3735 — Income and Tithing

Should a person pay tithe on his gross income, or pay all expenses first, and then tithe the remainder? Which? C.

That depends upon what is meant by gross income. If money is hired in order to carry on the business, if labor outside of his own is employed to carry on the business, those things should be deducted from the income before it is tithed. If a place is carried on on shares, as it is called, or rented, the owner's share, or the rent, should be taken from it before the income is tithed. But one should not take the worth of his own living from it before it is tithed. It should be tithed previous to that.
