Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me and 2 friends started a homecare business which began operating financially in August 2022. I have already paid Zakat on any dividends received which I calculated on my zakat date.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My 3 questions are:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do I need to pay Zakat on my shareholding of 33.33%?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do I need to pay Zakat on any profits within the business on my zakat date. Profits had to remain in the business on my zakat date?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Do I need to pay zakat on the value of our office equipment and the value of our PPE stock and staff uniforms?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • As a part owner of this business, you will need to pay Zakat on your \u2153 share holding if the value reaches the Nisab threshold and one Islamic (lunar) year passes. You are required to pay Zakat on your shares based on the proportion of Zakatable assets held by the company.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Hence Zakat will be due upon all tradeable goods and monetary assets (e.g. cash, gold\/silver, merchandise\/tradeable goods, raw materials, receivables, etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n

          However you will not have to pay Zakat on assets which are for use but not for sale, e.g. land, machinery, cars, equipment, etc. You will also deduct liabilities such as debts owed to people\/entities and immediate expenses (within one month of the Zakat due date) from your Zakatable assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • You will be liable to pay Zakat on the net profit for the business if it is the form of cash or gold\/silver. That comes under the category of cash assets as mentioned above. You will pay Zakat according to your \u2153 share of the company.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            • Zakat is not payable on the value of any goods that are utilized in a business but not held for trade purposes. This includes your PPE equipment, office supplies, and your staff uniforms. These items are not Zakatable as you will not be trading these items.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
