Zakat On Corporate Equity
Does corporate equity qualify for zakat? If so is it due on net profit or assets of the company?
Yes, one must pay zakat on corporate equity. One treats all shares as cash and pays zakat on them accordingly. So, on the day that zakat is due you would calculate the total value of the shares according to the market value of the shares on that day, and then pay 2.5% of that amount in zakat.
