c. 20), also known as the Act Concerning Ecclesiastical Appointments and Absolute Restraint of Annates, is an Act of the Parliament of England. This Act remains partly in force in England and Wales [3] at the end of 2010. [4] It was passed by the English Reformation Parliament in 1534.

The bounty was originally funded by the annates monies: 'first fruits' (the first year's income of a cleric newly appointed to a benefice) [1] and 'tenths' – a tenth of the income in subsequent years traditionally paid by English clergy to the pope until the Reformation and thereafter to the Crown.
