Tax Allocation to the Catholic Church: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how you can direct a portion of your existing tax payment to support the Church's social and pastoral work without any extra cost.
This scheme allows taxpayers to choose to direct a portion of their income tax to support the social and pastoral activities of the Catholic Church.
Who it's for
This option is available to any taxpayer who chooses to check the specific box for the Church on their IRPF tax return.
What you get
By selecting this option, you provide direct funding that the Church uses to carry out its social and pastoral work.
What it costs you
It costs you nothing. This is not an extra tax or a new payment; it is simply a redirection of a portion of the tax you are already paying to a different destination.
The catch to know
Many people mistakenly believe that choosing this option will increase their tax bill, but it does not cost the taxpayer any additional money.
How to apply
- Prepare your annual IRPF tax return.
- Locate the section regarding tax allocations.
- Mark the "X" in the box designated for the Church.
- Submit your return through the official portal.
