Q: Is zakaat payable on Intercompany Loans? Company X and Y are owned by Mr. A. Company X lends Y R250 000 as demonstrated on the balance sheet. The loan is a general loan with no specific purpose. The loan is an Asset to X and a liability to Y. Will Company X pay Zakaat on the loan receivable from Y? Will Y subtract the loan in its zakaat calculation?
A: Since both companies belong to one individual, the inter company loan will have no effect on the zakaat. Zakaat will be paid on the entire amount of wealth owned by him.
