The churches in the dioceses of Hildesheim, Osnabrück and Münster are changing the calculation of church tax - and specifically, in marriages where one of the partners is not in the church, the joint income will now be used to calculate the church tax of the other partner.

Especially in view of such rather arbitrary changes, I see the state's collection of church tax even more critically. Because the state is making itself here the accomplice of the arbitrariness of the churches over their members.
