A tithe is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a contribution to a religious organization or compulsory tax to government. Today, tithes are normally voluntary and paid in cash or cheques, whereas historically tithes were required and paid in kind, such as agricultural produce. Tithe was a religious tax levied on christians and muslims. The amount which was ordered to be donated was 10% or 1/10 of annual earnings of an individual or an institutions. With the end of influence of Church in political affairs the practice was abolished in the second half of the 17th century.
