Answer:
Tithe
Tithe – A tax levied by the church, comprising one-tenth of the agricultural produce. It was collected by the clergy
The French Clergy paid no direct taxes to the French Government. They instead gave the government 2% as a “Free Gift”. The Priests on the other hand were as poor as the peasants.
Peasants and nobles alike were required to pay one-tenth of their income or produce to the church (the tithe). Although exempted from the taille, the church was required to pay the crown a tax called the “free gift,” which it collected from its office holders at roughly 1/20 the price of the office.
