In Germany the churches' main sources of income is the 'church tax'. This a percentage surcharge on income tax (currently 9%) and is levied by the government tax authorities. Payment is compulsory unless one opts out. Many smaller churches reject this dependence on the state and opt out of the church tax and instead simply ask their members for support. The 'church tax' is controversial in Germany.
