Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to leave the church?

Yes. Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Swiss constitution. You have the right to leave at any time.

How much will I save?

Church tax is typically 8-20% of your cantonal tax. For a CHF 100k salary in Zurich, that's roughly CHF 800-1,400 per year.

Do I need to send the letter by registered mail?

It's strongly recommended. It costs CHF 5.80 and gives you proof of delivery. The church cannot claim they never received it.

How long does the process take?

Generating the letter takes 2 minutes. The church typically confirms within 4-6 weeks. The tax exemption applies immediately upon receipt.
