Is it legal for church members who do not tithe to vote on church matters?

That depends on the individual church charter and regulations of the denomination it belongs to. If the church in question has members of the congregation vote on church matters at all (not all do), then this is done however they've decided it should be done. There is no biblical description on how this must be handled that I know of.

Whether it is legal for church members who do not tithe to vote on church matters depends on the specific rules and bylaws of the church. Some churches may have membership requirements related to tithing, while others may not. It is best to refer to the church's governing documents for guidance on membership and voting rights.

A tax paid to the church?
A church which places a tax upon its members is not a church I would wish to belong to. It would be like saying "If you want to belong to the church you will have to pay to get in". Any monies paid by the congregation for the upkeep of the church or to pay the minister salary is done voluntary and the monies are not set by the church. One may pay a tithe but that is set by the Lord, usually one tenth of members income. To pay a tithe is a blessing, to be taxed is of Satans doing. A regular voluntary contribution is inevitable for the maintenance of the church and the sustenance of those who fully engaged in church works.
