WEB Taxes are NOT the same as zakat
Taxes go to the ruler zakat goes to the needy
Zakat is an individual responsibility and voluntary in the sense that no one can force you to pay it. On the other hand, taxes are mandatory and are collected by the government.
Zakat is a religious obligation for Muslims
Muslims are required to pay zakat on their wealth if they meet certain criteria, such as having a certain amount of money or property. The amount of zakat that is due is calculated as a percentage of the person's wealth.
Taxes are a way for the government to raise revenue
Taxes are used to pay for public services, such as roads, schools, and hospitals. The amount of tax that a person pays is usually based on their income or property.
Conclusion
Zakat and taxes are two different things. Zakat is a religious obligation for Muslims, while taxes are a way for the government to raise revenue. The basic principle is that it is prohibited to impose taxes because they come under the heading of makoos levies that are haraam.
