How is Zakat on shares calculated in Singapore?

For shares held for short-term trading, Zakat is payable at 2.5% on the market value at the end of the year. For shares held for long-term dividends, you are able to calculate Zakat as 2.5% of the net cash holdings of the company, or apply 2.5% directly on the dividend payouts received.

When is Zakat payable on CPF savings?

Under MUIS fatwas, CPF savings are not fully accessible before retirement, so Zakat is only mandatory upon actual withdrawal at age 55 or 65. However, you are able to voluntarily pay Zakat annually on your withdrawable CPF balances to secure early purification.

What is the Zakat Nisab in Singapore?

The Zakat Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold required before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is valued equivalent to 85 grams of gold. In Singapore, this fluctuates with global gold prices and typically ranges between SGD 8,000 and SGD 9,500.
