Reclaiming church tax - Germany

I need little information....if you know..please answer...

I saw yesterday my Year end Lohnsteuerbescheinigung (Total Salary Sheet),

Solid.ZUSCLAG KIRSCHENSTEUER (Tax for Church) is 30,96 Euro....

As I am not going to church, will I get the tax back after the year end....?

But there is no option to give tax for other religious place temple, Masjid (Moschee, Mosque) in the Tax card, if I am not wrong ?

However, Religion is a matter of believe and practice and highest freedom from Almighty God (Allah), so far I know, to give charity also a matter of freedom and freewill (Which is also a test for Human kind), to give tax for religion, is it a freedom ?

And Isn't it the appropriate word should be Charity instead of Tax for Church ?

Since when do Muslims pay church tax in Germany????

When you registered you should have stated your religion. There is no current tax for mulsims, so I believe you are paying the christian tax. I would go to the Rathaus and ask.

You certainly wouldn't get paid tax back though. All you can do is hand in a Kirchenaustrittserklärung to not pay tax in future.

I have a feeling this is wind up anyway...

I've heard it costs 30 euros to leave a church if you live in Bavaria. I also have a hard time believing that, of all posters who could possibly have made such an error, that the poster who opened this thread told someone when he did his Anmeldung that he is Christian.

Or that someone helping him with it mistook him for Christian and just didn't ask!

Maybe they were having a laugh.

Could be, but given who the OP is, I find that utterly impossible, even if we assume hefty language difficulties.

Perhaps be grateful that he's now posting original questions rather that paragraph after paragraph of plagiarised nonsense. If he could just work on the constant bold it'd almost be literature...

(Btw, OP, one god brother!)

I just left the church question blank when initially registering in Germany - it was no problem

Dastagir.I must say I´m curious.Your profile states you were born in 1980 and 1990...Am I missing something?

The OP was made on Nov 1st. And then he started to do the cut and copy work on another thread. I believe he just forgot about this thread. Anyways, let us not wake up the sleeping devil.

And for the OP, i don't think he made a mistake by ticking the box for christians nor the person mistook him. This is how i presume he would have approached the auslandermeldeamt,

And must have really pissed off the bloke at the Rathaus with more rambling that he purposefully made him pay the church tax.

interesting find on you tube
Toll! Auch Atheisten zahlen Kirchensteuer
not exactly church tax but even opting out of the chuch tax our money still goes towards the church, for unpaid bills of wood peas wheat etc from contracts made in the year 1873 which adds up yearly to 586.691.08 euros. The burgermeister refuses to pay as he says in the old money would stand today as 400 euros
In bayern alone the chuch gets from the stadt 61.478.551,
a bishop esrns 100.000euros yearly

here it is, im not sure i got lost in translation i dont think i did

Move to a new town, and when you register, say you don't belong to any church. This one catches a lot of newcomers, and religion is often an identity issue and little else. It especially gets to the people who come from countries with a formal separation of church and state, such as the US or France. I learned this one the hard way too.
