Church tax in Germany
Δημοσιεύτηκε από Διαγραμμένος χρήστης σε φόρουμ Γερμανία
The church tax in Germany is a percentage of your income tax, eg it depends on how much you earn. Many foreigners don't know that when they fill out their religion in immigration papers they are automatically assumed to be part of the church and thus pay church tax. If you don't want to pay it you have to go to the Einwohnermeldeamt (Bürgeramt) and state explicitely that you're not a church member (or catholic in your case).
