Field help: (2021) Church tax paid

Enter here the church tax that you paid in 2021 (e.g. church tax paid in advance or in arrears and / or church tax on capital gains tax that is levied on capital gains subject to income tax).

The "special church fee" is imposed on the spouse belonging to the church, who has no or only a low income and therefore does not have to pay church tax on the income. In this case, the special church fee is calculated according to the common taxable income of both spouses. It is levied only if the common taxable income is higher than 30.000 Euro, and only with joint assessment, not with individual assessment for spouses.
