The tithe was not a voluntary contribution to the church during the middle ages. It was a tax on agricultural production in which one tenth of a crop would be separated and handed over to the church. In theory this went for the support of village priests, the construction and maintenance of church buildings, and aid to the poor, as well as the general expenses of various church organizational such as priories and monasteries.

Supervisors would be in the fields of the various manors during harvest. The tithe would actually be separated in the field, with every 10th sheaf of grain being set aside and then carried to storage buildings known as Tithe barns. Stories of attempts to conceal grain or otherwise defraud the process are legion, but legal charges could be brought against someone taking the tithe grain for themselves, as they were essentially stealing.

What happens if mormons dont pay tithe?

If a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) admits to their Bishop that they do not pay a full tithe, they will not qualify to hold a Temple Recommend or to hold certain leadership positions in the congregation. They are still welcome to be participating members of the congregation and can hold most teaching and service positions within the church. Church members believe that those not paying a full tithe will not recieve some blessings from God that they could have recieved if they were following His commandment of Tithing.
