I am hoping that you all might be able to clarify a question I have about tithing...

Currently I am the only one in the house working and we pay our tithes on my gross income each fortnight. We give our children a small amount of pocket money each week - they do not have to do anything for it and it is only $2.00.

As the money has already had the tithes paid on it and our children do not "earn" the money - it is given to them by us as a gift - do they have to pay tithing on this?

When they do small jobs for other people and they are paid for it (they earn the money) then we get them to pay tithing.

The question has raised its head as our 13 year old daughter was denied a temple recommend recently because she had not paid tithing and she received pocket money.

Just wondering what others thoughts are on it and if there is anywhere I can go to get clarification on it.
