ZAKAT AND TAXESBesides there are some similarities, between zakat and taxation, there is also a very fundamental difference. Many parties proposed that zakat and tax equivalent and incorporated it, because it is burdensome to Muslim citizens. The proposal was justified by differences in zakat and tax records must be completed first.First, every individual Muslim in his status as citizens, rich and poor affected taxpayers, according to the legislation in force. While obliged to pay zakat for Muslims with the provisions of the dispossessed, those who can not afford not required to tithe.
Second, the charity is eternal as long as there are Muslims and the religion of Allah on earth is still tangible. In contrast to taxes, it is highly dependent on the situation, the condition of social progress - politics, the changing times and the corresponding urgensional.Third, the tax has social value, but it can not be separated from materialist values, while zakat is a tool or a means to an end spiritiual mental, social and noble character, and not the purpose of material.Fourth, the percentage set by Allah SWT zakat, which is 10%, 5% and 2.5%. Should not be increased or decreased no matter what.
In contrast to taxes, the percentage depends on government policy and development needs. So the tax at any time can be reduced, increased, sometimes even can also be removed altogether, depending on government policy.Fifth, Zakat does not recognize differences of race, citizenship and social status. All those who reach nishab haul and, subject to zakat, even though she foreigners, members of the diplomatic corps, officials and others - others are in the tax law exempted or alleviated.
However, the sixth, otherwise it does not recognize tax rich or poor, able or not able, any citizen who registered taxpayers, should pay taxes. Though charity to clearly differentiate between mustadl'afin and mustathi '.Seventh, the government pulled the tax is not limited to lawful business or something alone, but include items that "Haram", such as liquor, gambling and prostitution, while zakat funds should be generated from the net.Eighth, in terms of distribution, zakat is limited strictly by God only to"Al - Al Tsaminah Ashnaf", or often called mustadl'afin groups, namely the weak and incapable.
The principle of zakat is the maximum for the class who can not afford(Mustahiq), while Muzakki did not enjoy it.While the distribution is less clear tax policy depends on the ruler, even less so the tax would have on the distribution of the parties of the rich and capable (class mustathi ').
Thus zakat and taxation can not be executed directly comparable because of the tax in principle, only the operational costs of development, while zakat is the only tool or a way to resolve the tendency of capital accumulation (kapitalitalisme) as a cosmological trend. With the charity that gave birth to the capitalist inequality and injustice, will be resolved completely.
