Field help: Did you pay church taxes or church fees or receive a church tax refund?

Answer "yes" to this question if you paid church tax in 2025 or received a refund, as long as it is not included in the income tax statement.

Which church tax payments should be included here?

Include in particular:

• Back payments for previous years (e.g. according to tax assessment)
• Advance payments (e.g. quarterly, also for other years)
• Special church fee in interdenominational marriages
• General church fee (income-dependent, e.g. for self-employed)
• Church tax on property or assets
• Voluntary payments to religious communities (if recognised as church tax)
