Result
- Total additions
- 5750000.00
- Total deductions
- 1200000.00
- Zakat base
- 4550000.00
- Zakat on the base
- 113750.00
The method
- Equity + additions − deductions = the Zakat base.
- Every item stays visible on the workpaper, because a base is reviewed line by line, not in total.
Rate provenance
Zakat rate on the base — 2.5%
Zakat shall be levied at (2.5%) of Zakat Base for Hijri year.
https://zatca.gov.sa/en/RulesRegulations/Documents/ZAKAT%20COLLECTION.pdf
2.5% is for a Hijri year. Where the fiscal year differs, the rate is prorated by days: (2.5% ÷ days in the Hijri year) × days in the fiscal year — Article (15) paragraph 2. A Gregorian year therefore yields more than 2.5%, and applying a flat 2.5% to an entity on a Gregorian year is wrong.
