Hinn responded to the allegations around detail inside the letter in March 10, 2004. A allegations, nonetheless, come firm to validate, since Hinn's ministry claims the "church" taxation exemption (when opposed to the religious non-non-profit-making exemption), which exempts Hinn & his ministry from either getting to reveal fiscal records (watch beneath on an investigation into such exemption).

Hinn's ministry has confirmed it is existence reviewed per IRS.

A Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in August 2005 that a Tarrant County Appraisal District (responsible determining a assessed value of real-estate for taxation purposes, & for granting land tax exemptions) was reviewing whether Hinn's facility around Grapevine met the requirements for a property tax exemption. Specifically, a read would focus in whether a "church" designation (a equivalent of these Anthony & Trinity Foundation claim is treacherously) was wont to claim an exemption to which Hinn's ministry might not develop been entitled.
