Leaving the church in the canton of Ticino

Ticino has no cantonal church tax; only some parishes levy a worship tax (imposta di culto) on Catholics listed in the parish tax register. To leave the church body, you notify the parish council (Consiglio parrocchiale) of your place of residence in writing. Where the parish levies the worship tax, you also ask the same council in writing to be exempted; the exemption takes effect from the following calendar year.
