Church tax / Giving
I Danmark nyder kun den protestantiske Folkekirke økonomisk støtte fra staten. Alle andre trossamfund – også Den katolske Kirke – skal selvstændigt sørge for deres økonomi. Det forventes derfor, at alle katolikker bidrager til drift af deres menighed, idet de tegner en såkaldt kirkeskataftale; som udgangspunkt anbefales et beløb, der svarer til mindst 1% af ens skattepligtige indkomst, som kan ses på skattevæsenets årsopgørelse. OBS: Kirkeskat betragtes som “gave til velgørende foreninger” og kan dermed fradrages den skattepligtige indkomst – læs mere her.

In Denmark, only the Protestant Folkekirke enjoys financial support from the state. All other faith denominations – including the Catholic Church – are responsible for their own finances. Therefore, all Catholics are expected to contribute to the running of their parish by signing a so-called kirkeskat agreement; an amount equivalent to at least 1% of your taxable income is recommended. The taxable income is shown on the tax authorities’ annual statement (“årsopgørelse”). NB: Kirkeskat is considered a donation to charity and can therefore be deducted from taxable income – read more here.
