Answer
- B there is a church tax that is linked to income tax and wage tax.
Explanation
Members of the Protestant and Catholic churches and some other religious communities pay church tax. Depending on the federal state it amounts to 8 or 9 percent of wage or income tax and is collected by the tax office. That is why you have to state whether you are a member; anyone who leaves the church pays no church tax.
