The Church Tax doesn't change the amount of one's tax bill. If a person de-couples from the Church (and this is a formal act, it requires appearing personally and testifying that one is no longer a member of said church) --- you are still taxed the same amount, but the money goes to the government.

The above statements are not true.

But the only way out of paying the tax is to make a formal declaration renouncing your membership of the church – and there is a government fee for this as well.

Thank you for the correction. Could you give me a link? I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure I read this somewhere. I don’t remember where, so I could very well be mistaken.
