Abstract
Ensuring Equality of Opportunity and Justice for the Obligation of Zakat and Tax
Zakat is a religious worship. Zakat is paid only to persons declared in the Qur'an. Taxes are taken by the government to cover the cost of public services. Zakat and tax are different. Some people are just paying the tax, others pay both tax and zakat. This situation leads to inequality between taxpayers. Zakat fund should be established to ensure equality of opportunity among citizens. The amount accumulated in the fund should be used only as zakat. Those who pay zakat fund, should be given income tax exemption.
