Stocks and shares:
stock held in business have Zakāt on their market value. With regards to shares if they were bought as commodities then the market value of the shares is determined as an asset. However, if bought as a long-term investment then the Zakatable proportion represented in the share and the annual dividends would be added instead.
Pensions:
The zakatable portion of personal pensions and ‘money purchase’ pensions have to be determined on the Zakāt date and considered as an asset. As for final salary pensions, they are not Zakatable.
Real estate:
If a property is purchased solely for earning rent and not to sell at a later date, the property itself is not Zakatable. Any rental income that remains on the Zakāt due date is, however, Zakatable. However, if you purchased a property to sell at a later date for profit, then you have to pay Zakāt on the total value of your property at the market value on the Zakāt due date.
Livestock & land:
You may have livestock and land in your ownership. Please refer to the livestock guide for more details. If the land is purchased with the intention to sell you have to include the current market value.
