Clarifications
Amount (SAR)
Non-Zakat Assets
Net fixed assets and their
equivalents
Net fixed assets are
taken as at the end of the
year
Investments in
establishments or ownership
shares inside the Kingdom,
in accordance with the
regulation.
15% of the investment
value is taken as it
represents equity
investments inside the
Kingdom for which Zakat

Kingdom, provided that the
Zakat payer settles their Zakat
independently in accordance
with the regulation.

legally mandated Zakat
has not been paid for
them; accordingly, they
are not treated as non-
Zakatable assets

part thereof is after one year
or more, whether called
short-term or long-term
debts, as follows:
a. All types of provided

financing, finance lease, or
other financing contracts.
b. Zakat payer investments
in debt instruments, such as
Sukuk and bonds, regardless
of their structure.
50% of loans and
advances with a maturity
date of one year or more
are taken
