Zakat Base Addition

Collection of Zakat What evidences the great regard of Zakat in Islam is assigning its management and supervision to the State. In fact, the State is the entity responsible to collect Zakat on funds and spending it on those entitled, by assigning some personnel (Zakat Employees) to visit the owners of funds throughout the Islamic State, calculate the amount of their Zakat, then collect it from them, and supervise the disbursement and distribution of it to the beneficiaries. ZACTA undertakes the task of levying Zakat. It undertakes all procedures related to the Zakat payer’s Zakat calculation, starting with the registration of the Zakat payer, through the process of calculating the amount of Zakat for the Zakat payer, which includes supervision of the Zakat payer’s submission of Zakat Reports, payment procedures, examination of the submitted statements, and verification of them by well-trained personnel working at ZATCA and ending with the issuance of the Final Zakat Certificate. This may also include examining the resulting Zakat payers’ objections to ZATCA’s Zakat amounts assigned to it.
