Leaving the church in the canton of Valais
In Valais, parishes do not levy a church tax; municipalities cover worship costs from their general budget or, in a few municipalities, through a municipal worship tax. There is no exit from a public-law church body: people who do not belong to a recognised church apply in writing to the municipal council for a reduction of the municipal tax or exemption from the worship tax.
