Maximize Your Tax Efficiency with Zakat Contributions Before 31 December 2024
As the year-end approaches, individuals and companies have a strategic opportunity to optimize tax commitments while fulfilling their social responsibilities. Here’s how zakat contributions can benefit you:
For Individuals:
Claim a Tax Rebate
• Contributions to zakat through approved institutions are eligible for a direct tax rebate.
• This rebate reduces your income tax payable, helping you achieve both financial and spiritual objectives.
📌 Example:
If your income tax payable is RM3,000 and you’ve contributed RM1,000 to zakat, your final tax payable will be reduced to RM2,000.
💡 Act Before 31 December 2024: Contributions made by this date will be eligible for the 2024 assessment year.
For Companies:
As the year-end approaches, businesses in Malaysia have the opportunity to align their corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals with tax efficiency through Potongan Zakat Perniagaan.
What is Potongan Zakat Perniagaan?
Under Malaysian tax law, companies contributing zakat to approved religious authorities can claim a tax deduction equivalent to 2.5% of their aggregate income.
How It Works:
Here’s an example to illustrate:
1️⃣ Aggregate Income: RM1,000,000
2️⃣ Zakat Perniagaan Paid: RM30,000 (contributed through an authorized institution)
3️⃣ Maximum Deduction Allowed:
• 2.5% x RM1,000,000 = RM25,000
• The company can only deduct RM25,000 from taxable income, even if the zakat contribution is higher.
4️⃣ Tax Impact:
• Original Taxable Income: RM1,000,000
• Taxable Income After Zakat Deduction: RM975,000
💡 Note: Any zakat contribution exceeding 2.5% of aggregate income will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Why It Matters:
🔹 Tax Savings: Reduce your company’s taxable income legally and efficiently.
