  • Zakat Calculation With A Net Debt Position And Previously Unpaid Zakat

    Posted by Sannan Khan on February 19, 2024 at 11:32 am

    Objective of the question: is to understand what do I need to pay in terms of zakat.

    My income is my salary on which I pay effectively 60% tax. In addition, I pay council tax and road taxes. I also have a pension portfolio, which is locked until I reach the age of 55 years. I also have a house, which 85% leveraged. In addition, I have cars on finance, some cash in my account, and other debts.

    Can you pls advice from the above which assets, liabilities, and income, will attract zakat and how do I calculate how much I need to pay?

    I had heard previously that if you are in a net debt position you are not liable to pay zakat, as a result I have not paid zakat previously. Kindly guide what do I need to do about any previous zakat due?

    You can calculate your Zakat with the help of Zakat calculator

    https://ask.ghamidi.org/app/#/tools/zakat-calculator

    1. Nothing except the following are exempt from zakah:

    i.tools of production, trade and business

    ii. personal items of daily use

    iii. a fixed quantity called nisab

    Taxes are counted as zakat

      As per the most recent update, there are some scheduling conflicts, call mechanism and basic fee structure that need to be finalized. Other than that, everything is ready to go live.
