Salary Zakat On Gross Amount Or Net Amount Above Nisab Threshold
If someone earned annual salary of 900,000/- by giving services only and govt announced tax exemption on annual salary of 600,000/- then what will be the salary amount for zakat calculation? Will it be 900,000/- or
900,000-600,00=300,000/-?
