==Overview==
Two types of Tithes are demanded of Imperial worlds. The first is a military tithe which translates into 1/10th of a planet's [[PDF]] being gathered as new recruits for the [[Imperial Guard]].{{Fn|4}} The second, known as '''Exacta''', includes all other types of resources or wealth. Collection of the first type of Tithe is overseen by the [[Departmento Munitorum]] while collection of the second is overseen by the [[Departmento Exacta]]. Tithes are physically collected by Administratum authorities , successors of the Crusade-era [[Eaxector]]s{{Fn|8}}, which periodically arrive on the subject world. The frequency of visits varies world to world, but in at least one case the Departmento Munitorum visited a planet nine times in a year, demanding new Imperial Guard conscripts each time.{{Fn|5}}
The size of the tithe depends on the type of world to which it is applied. A tithe can be any form of material: food, weapons, minerals, people, etc. Despite the number of agencies tracking tithes, the sheer size of the Imperium and the difficulty of [[Warp]] travel makes the time-consuming process of tithe collection excessively confusing and inefficient.{{Fn|2}}
