Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do pay ten percent of their salary to the Church. This is a Christian practice called a Tithe. It is not a requirement for Church membership, but most members do practice it. The Tithe goes to humanitarian efforts funded by the Church as well as paying Church expenses (utility bills, building funds, congregation activities, etc. Church Leaders are not paid for their service)

Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) follow the Biblical practice of the Tithe, which means that they give ten percent of their increase or income to the Church. [The Tithe is mentioned in several places in The Bible including Leviticus 27, Malachi 3, Genesis 14, Hebrews 7, Deuteronomy 14, and 2 Chronicles 31] This is considered a way to thank the Lord for the blessings He has given you. The Church uses tithing money to pay for upkeep and construction of church buildings, support missionaries, fund congregation activities, and perform humanitarian service. The few Church leaders who do receive reimbursement for their service (only top international leaders) are NOT paid out of tithing funds, but out of income generated from Church investments or real estate.
If a Church member does not want to pay tithing into a general tithing fund (where the money will be directed wherever it is needed most), they may choose a specific option on the donation form, such as missionary fund, building fund, or humanitarian fund.
Many Church members also choose pay a monthly "Fast Offering". Fast offerings are given when a family fasts for two meals and gives the money they would have spent on those meals to their Bishop. These funds are then immediately distributed to someone in the local area who is in need.
Note that while the practice of tithing is encouraged and great blessings are promised to those who participate, it is not a requirement. Those who choose not to pay tithing are not punished. There is never an offering plate or collection taken up during Mormon Church services.
The pastor of a Mormon congregation is called a bishop (or in very small congregations, a branch president). The church has a lay clergy. No person who serves in their congregation receives payment -- not even the organist. We also don't accept payment for conducting weddings, funerals, or any of the other services that seem to be provided on a fee-for-service basis in other Christian denominations.
The "flock" donates and part of this money goes to pay the salary of the ministers/pastors.
No they are not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Mormons, perform their duties within the church without any pay whatsoever.
All members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are asked to pay a tithe, but it is not a requirement for membership in the Church. You can learn more about what Mormons believe about tithing at the "Related Links" below.
Only if it was predestined by God, according to Calvin.
Yes. Everyone has to pay to go to BYU, unless they have a scholarship. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are often given a tuition discount, but they still have to pay more than they would to go to a state school.
Churches do not pay income tax or property tax. Part of the separation of church and state in the United States.
It's asking for your rate of pay or salary before you left that job. NB if it was a salary and you had a pay rise during the year you should give the annual value of the raised amount.

Basic annual salary, not including overtime, even if the overtime is part of your regular pay or contract. It doesinclude locality pay if you are a Federal employee.
The word raise is a regular verb. It can also be a noun meaning an increase in pay or salary.
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.
