| dct:title | National legal acts on religious communities members fees |
| skos:example | In Germany, for instance, the 'church tax' is a system where members of certain religious communities pay a percentage of their income tax to their respective religious institution. This is regulated by national law, but in accordance with EU principles. In contrast, in France, there is no such tax, and religious communities are funded through voluntary donations from members, again in line with national law and EU regulation. |
| skos:note | The regulation does not impose a specific model for collecting fees from religious community members, leaving this to the discretion of individual member states. However, it does require that any such system respects the principles of freedom of religion and belief, non-discrimination, and transparency. It also encourages member states to provide mechanisms for individuals to challenge fee assessments or to seek exemptions or reductions in certain circumstances. |
| skos:definition | This regulation refers to the national laws within the European Union member states that govern the collection and management of membership fees from individuals who are part of religious communities. These laws are developed in accordance with the broader EU regulation and may vary from country to country, but they generally aim to ensure transparency, fairness, and respect for religious freedom. |
