the Government by Low ragardless
to Religion.
- Zakat is based on Religious and Ethical
Values ,but Tax mostly ignores such
Values and based on monetary factors .-

- Zakat is calculated according to Fiqh
Rules , but Tax is calculated according
to Governmental Rules.

- Zakatable wealth is gained from Good and Halal
Sources, but Tax Revenues and Incomes
may be earned from Non-Halal and Worse Sources

It mans the calculation, reviewing and
announcing of Zakat on money .It is
governed by a group of Accounting
rules, extracted from the sources of
Islamic Shariah,

21

ZAKAT ACCOUNTING RULES( PRINCIPLES )

Zakat Accounting Rules are as Follow

23
Zakat is calculated according to the
lunar year. Counting starts when the amount of
money attains the Nisab (the minimum amount on
which Zakat should be paid). This includes all
kinds of Zakat except Zakat on agriculture,
fruits, mineral assets and Rikaz (metals found in
the earth).

1. The Lunar Year

24
2. Independence of each Year

Each Zakat year is an independent one, and
Zakat on a given amount of money should not be
more than once in the same year. Duality should
be avoided. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said
No duality in Zakat giving.

25
3 Actual or Assumed Growth

Actual or assumed growth of an amount of
money is a condition for any Zakat is to be given
from this money. Therefore, Zakat is not due on
fixed assets or things for personal use. This is
because the condition of actual or assumed growth
would not be met.

26
4. Zakat Base should reach Nisab

Zakat is due on money which is abounding (more
than basic needs). No Zakat is due for little
amounts of money. The amount of money should
reach the Nisab. This guarantees that only those
who have the capacity of paying will be obliged
to pay.

27
5. Calculating Zakat on the Total or
Net Zakatable Money

For every kind of money or activity there is a
rule for calculation Zakat which is due on it.
Some are calculated in relation to the total
amount and others are calculated in relation to
the net amount ( Property).

28
6. Grouping Money of the Same kinds together as
Zakatable Base

It is permissible to group cash money of
wealth to cash money available from offers of
commerce and other gained cash money, so that for
all these monies there would be one Nisab and one
Zakat Year.

29
7. Evaluating Zakatable Money according to the
Current value .

Evaluating cash money of wealth and cash money
from offers of commerce to define the due Zakat
should be according to the current value at the
time of paying Zakat. They should not be
evaluated according to the historic value, cost
or market, whichever is less.

30
Equations of calculating Zakat They are as
follows
31

Receptacle of Zakat Zakat Base
Zakatable Money
( Assets),( Less ) - Zakatable Liabilities which
are due to be paid at the moment.

2. Zakatable Money( Assets )
Assets which meet the conditions of
obligatory Zakat.
3. Zakatable Liabilities
which are due in
short time.
4. Due Zakat Zakat Base By Zakat Rate

Conditions of Zakatable Money
They are as follows
a. It should be a full ownership.
b. It should be Growing actually or
assumed

c. The completion of one Lunar Year
except for Zakat on agriculture,
fruits, mineral wealth or Rikaz in
earth.

d. Not other kind of Zakat has been paid on
the same Zakatable Money
within the same year.
e. Zakatable Money should exceeds
Basic Needs.

f. Zakatable Money should not include
a Debt which is due at the time.(short
term Debts)
g. Zakatabe Base should reach the (Nisab).

Conditions of Zakatable Liabilities
They are Short Term Liabilities which are due
payment according to the following conditions
Liabilities should be related
to the activity.

b. Liabilities should be due payment during the
coming
year .
c. Liabilities should be legally
permissible .

Nisab the minimum amount of
Due Zakat
It is equal to 85 grams of pure gold. A gram
should be evaluated according to current prices
at the time of paying Zakat in the country in
which the original money is located.

The Amount of Due Zakat
When Zakat Base money once reaches the Nisab ,
the Due Zakat is calcuated as follow Zakat
Base x the price of Zakat.

The Price of Zakat
Zakat Rate
It varies according to the kind of money and
activity. It ranges between 2.5 and 20 of
Zakatable Base.

42
Executive Procedures for Calculating Zakat
43

Steps of Calculating Zakat
( Zakat Accounting Procedures )

44
Zakat should be calculated according to the
following steps

1. Defining the date completion the
Lunar year. This date varies
according to the circumstances of the
Zakat giver ( Payer).

With the exception of Zakat on agriculture,
fruits, minerals and minerals in the earth.
In these cases Zakat should given at time of
harvest or the acquisition of the minerals.

In the case of defending the Lunar year for the
first time, the date of beginning and the date of
completing should be defined according to the
date of reaching the Nisab amount.

2. Different Monies owned by the Zakat Payer
should be assessed at
the end of year according to
the rules of Zakat.
From this money it should be
defined on which Zakat must be given.
They are called Zakatable Money (
Assets).

3. Assessment of Taxable Liabilities
(deductions) which are due to be deducted from
Zakatable money according to the rules of
Zakat.

4. Defining the receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat
Base ) by the deduction of Due Liabilities
from Zakatable Money by the following equation.
The receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat Base )
Zakatable Money Due Liabilities.

5- Calculating the Nisab as mentioned
before. Each kind of Zakat has a
special Nisab .

6. A comparison should made between the Zakat
Base, defined in step 4 above, with Nisab
defined in step 5. So as to know whether
Zakat is due or not. If the Zakat Base has
reached the amount of Nisab, then Zakat would be
Due.

7. Define the amount which should be taken
from the receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat Base ),
it is as a Percentage
, it is culled the Price of Zakat ,
It varies from 2,5 to 20 of
Zakat Base

8. Calculating the amount of Zakat by
multiplying the amount of the
receptacle by the amount of the price (or
percentage) of Zakat. The result should be
the amount of due Zakat.

9. Define who pays the due Zakat a
follow
a. For individuals and personal establishments
The individuals or the owner should pay the due
Zakat.

b. For partnership
The amount of the due Zakat should be
divided between the partners, each
according to the percentage ofhis share in
the capital of partnership.

c. For investment companies
The amount of the due Zakat should be
divided on the number of shares to
know the amount of Zakat due on each
share. Each investor should then pay
Zakat according to his ownership of
shares.

d. For partnerships of labor and capital
(mudarabah Sahriyyah) The laborer (Mudarib)
pay Zakat according to his share of
profits. Whereas the financier (Mumawwil)
should pay Zakat on the capital and the
profit less the laborers share.

10. Zakat Amount should be distributed
according to its duers in the light
of the rules of Islamic Law (Shariah).

It is permissible to give Zakat to institutes
or committees of Zakat to redirect the funds in
their due activities and persons according to
Islamic Law (Shariah).

The following steps are for defining the
receptacle of Zakat on minerals and marine
wealth

129

a) Define the net production from the earth or
sea, on which Zakat must be paid.

(the equivalent to 85 grams of gold) in the
case of mineral wealth. For Rikaz there is no
Nisab.

130

c) Calculate the amount of Zakat, if the
receptacle reaches the Nisab, the basis of
2.5 for minerals and 20 for Rikaz.

they are of the same category as assets obtained
for establishments (fixed assets). Zakat, however
is due on their revenue once these revenues reach
the Nisab, after deducing actually paid expenses
and debts which are currently due.

137

Receptacle of Zakat on investment assets is

to any cash and trade goods owned by the Zakat
giver and on which no Zakat is paid at
the end of the year to ascertain the
receptacle.(Zakat Base ) .

142

f) Compare receptacle (e) with the Nisab,
