The Tithe Act, 1836, replaced tithes by rent charges on land, which continued to be called tithes. Tithe owners were chargeable with local rates on their tithes or on the rent charge received in lieu of tithe. The 1836 Act was amended eighteen times between that date and 1925, when the State assumed responsibility for the whole of the rate surcharge.
The Royal Commission on Tithe (1934/35) recommended the extinguishment of tithe rent charges and their rateable values and made provision for grants towards subsequent loss of rate income of Rating Authorities in England and Wales.
