Zakat Taxes Including Custom Duty
Yes, taxes paid to the government can be adjusted against Zakat obligation . Government taxes include all forms of actual taxes levied by the government including but not limited to, income tax, sales tax, property tax etc. However, Custom Duty does not appear to be a form of tax in the same sense as are other taxes on a person’s income ( whether direct or indirect ). A professional may be consulted on the status of Custom Duty. Please refer to the video below from 28:16 to 29:20 https://youtu.be/f52U9MGiyWU?t=1696
