The regional church office of the North Church in Kiel is the contact for questions about the calculation of the church tax (amount of the church tax):

• There is basically general information for members of all four religious communities below.
• For further denominational questions, the Northern Church refers to the respective religious community if necessary.
• Other denominations contact their religious community directly.

There are four religious communities in Hamburg that have the church / cult tax administered by the tax offices:

1. Evangelical Lutheran Congregation,
2. Roman Catholic Church,
3. Old Catholic Church and
4. Jewish community.

The religious tax is levied by the Jewish community.

There are also a number of other religious communities, for example the Evangelical Reformed Church, which raise their contributions in another form, ie not through the tax offices.

The Protestant Northern Church has set up a toll-free hotline for all questions about church tax: 0800 1181204
