Rate Of Ushr
What rate is ushr charged at?
Ushr is payable at the rate of 10% of total output on agricultural produce irrigated naturally, whether by rain or by natural bodies of water such as rivers, springs, streams, or the like. Ushr is payable at the rate of 5% of total output on agricultural produce irrigated artificially, whether by canals, wells, sprinkling, dams, motorization, or the like. When a single crop is irrigated by both artificial and natural means, the predominant method relied upon, whether artificial or natural, determines the rate of ushr of either 5% or 10% (or a weighted average).
