In Saudi Arabia and most of the Islamic Finance based countries, businesses are required by the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) to submit their Zakat amounts every financial year. To ensure compliance with these requirements, ALZERP Cloud ERP Software provides a robust Business Zakat calculation feature. This tool is designed to accurately calculate, moderate, and finalize the Zakat amounts for businesses, using comprehensive financial data from either the balance sheet or net profit, whichever yields the higher amount.
ALZERP Cloud ERP offers a Business Zakat Calculation Report that streamlines the process of determining and finalizing Zakat amounts for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia. This integrated feature ensures compliance with ZATCA regulations and provides a user-friendly interface for efficient Zakat management.
Key Components of the Zakat Calculation Report:
- Date Range: Specifies the financial year for which Zakat is being calculated.
- Zakat Base Calculation Method: Allows users to select either the Balance Sheet or Net Profit as the basis for Zakat calculation.
- Zakat Calculation Form:
- Displays a detailed breakdown of current assets, current liabilities, shareholders equity, adjusted net profit, Zakat base, Zakat amount, and Zakat ratio.
- Calculates Zakat based on the selected method.
- Zakat History: Provides a summary of previous Zakat submissions to ZATCA.
Overview of Zakat Calculation in ALZERP #
Zakat, a form of almsgiving in Islamic finance, is a mandatory process for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia. The ALZERP Cloud ERP Software streamlines this process by automating the calculation based on the company’s financial data, ensuring accuracy and compliance with ZATCA regulations.
Key Features of the Zakat Calculation Report in ALZERP:
- Data Range Specification:
- Users can specify the date range for the Zakat calculation. For instance, a business can define a period starting from 12/09/2023 to 30/08/2024, ensuring that the Zakat calculation covers the entire financial year.
- Zakat Base Calculation Method:
- ALZERP offers flexibility in calculating the Zakat base using either the Balance Sheet or Net Profit method. This dual approach ensures that businesses can choose the calculation method that yields a higher Zakat amount, aligning with compliance requirements.
Detailed Zakat Calculation Process #
1. Zakat Calculation Using the Balance Sheet:
The Zakat calculation from the balance sheet involves analyzing the company’s current assets, current liabilities, and shareholders’ equity over the specified financial period. The difference in these values over time is used to determine the Zakat base.
- Particulars and Balances:
- The system tracks the balances of current assets, current liabilities, and shareholders’ equity at the beginning and end of the financial period.
- For example:
- Current Assets: SAR 300,786.45 on 12/09/2023 and SAR 147,163.93 on 30/08/2024, with a difference of SAR -153,622.52 over 354 days.
- Current Liabilities: SAR 310,001.37 on 12/09/2023 and SAR 147,326.52 on 30/08/2024, showing a decrease of SAR -162,674.85.
- Adjusted Net Profit: The system calculates the adjusted net profit, which in this example is SAR 1,097.23. This figure is critical in determining the Zakat base.
- Zakat Base and Amount:
- The Zakat base, calculated from the adjusted net profit, is SAR 1,097.23.
- The Zakat amount is then determined as 2.5% of the Zakat base, resulting in SAR 27.43.
- The Zakat ratio provides a perspective on the business’s financial health and its Zakat obligation, calculated here as 0.08.
2. Zakat Calculation Using Net Profit:
Similar to the balance sheet method, the net profit method also considers the changes in current assets, liabilities, and net profit to determine the Zakat base.
- The figures for current assets, current liabilities, and adjusted net profit remain the same as in the balance sheet method, ensuring consistency in financial reporting and compliance.
- Zakat Base and Amount:
- The Zakat base is calculated based on the net profit, leading to the same Zakat amount of SAR 27.43, reinforcing the reliability of ALZERP’s dual-method approach.
