Ministers should pay taxes on their income when that income is above set amount, say at regular rates over $45,000.

Ministers, generally, already pay income tax on income they receive including love offerings and other services they perform as ministers. However, ministers, as well as anyone else, are entitled to the same exemptions, deductions, credits, etc to lower their tax liability.
NOTE: Churches do pay income taxes on activities that are not within
Churches do pay some taxes, especially on activities that fall outside the scope of their charter. And it is at the higher rate.
