10% comes from the word tithe, which in the past was used to denote ten percent. This was practiced during the Old Testament time - ie. ancient Jewish practice. For some reason, modern folk seem to find justification in the ancient ways. Don't know why.

Cheers!

10% tithe in the past is just like 7% of GST in the present ?
