We prepare the zakat return from the financial statements and trial balance, compute the base and test the statutory rules, then file and obtain the zakat certificate.

  • Zakat base computation and schedules
  • Holding companies and investments in subsidiaries and associates
  • Shareholder and related-party loans, and investment funds
  • Non-deductible expenses and provisions
  • Advisor’s report and outputs for approval
  • Filing and zakat certificate

What you receive

  • A filing-ready zakat return with its detailed schedules
  • An advisor’s report: base computation, key risks and observations
  • Filing acknowledgement and the zakat certificate

How we work

  1. Understand — We start with your business, structure and filing history.
  2. Analyse — We reconcile the financial statements and identify risks before any figure is filed.
  3. Deliver — We prepare, review and file on time, with a documented supporting file.
  4. Follow through — We handle queries and assessments until the year is fully closed.

Frequently asked

What documents are needed for the zakat return?

Financial statements and trial balance, last year’s return, and schedules of provisions, fixed assets, investments and related-party balances.

Must a loss-making company still file?

Yes. Filing is required every year, and zakat is calculated on the zakat base, not on profit alone.
