I don't think they're allowed to make outside money. And what about income taxes?
I’m not sure of all communities, but I grew up in an Amish town in Pennsylvania. I was the minority.
They can make money however they wish, and the tax thing is mostly non-taxable but again.. that can change for any community at any time I guess.
RE: I don’t think they’re allowed to make outside money. And what about income taxes?
The Amish do not pay Social Security or Medicare taxes but they do pay income and other taxes.
REASON: The Amish were given special exemption BECAUSE they DO NOT depend on Social Security or Medicare.
Even if an individual is exempt from income taxes for whatever reason, most will still pay some form of tax like business income. You have to pay sales tax on items you buy and property tax if you own a home.
