I recall seeing a site refering to the lack of necessity to incorporate. They are defined as "Free" churches and are allowed by US legislation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_church. It is this kind of church that I usually attend in Scotland (Free Church of Scotland).

Why does the WTS feel the need to avoid taxes. Didn't Jesus say to give Caesars things to Caeser? Don't taxes bring benefits to the poor? The ill? The handicapped? I'm proud to contribute a portion of my pay for such things. Its the least the WTS could do since they donate zilch otherwise.
