Zakat On Money Due To The Builder For Purchase Of A Flat For Dwelling Purpose
I have booked a flat and already paid 80% of the total amount as per the payment schedule based on the progress of the construction work by the builder. The remaining 20% has to be paid on completion, expected in a couple of months.
My question is, whether zakat, due now, will have to be calculated including or excluding 20% of the total amount due to the builder? Please clarify.
Secondly, in India which is a non-Islamic country we pay annual income tax. Whether, the amount paid as Income Tax can be adjusted with the total amount to be paid as zakat? -

If the flat is purchased for commercial purposes, it is an investment to earn a profit, your investment is equal to 80% of he amount only on which you have to pay zakat.
All taxes are counted as zakat paid, to any government, Muslim or non-Muslim.

I have already mentioned that the flat is being purchased for dwelling purpose and not for commercial use. Please clarify the ruling if it is for living purpose.

If it is for residence, it is exempted from Zakat.
