Pay zakat online in Selangor, KL, Putrajaya, Labuan, Perak and Kedah, and the tax rebate

Zakat can be paid online through each state's official zakat portal, and the zakat you pay can reduce your income tax as a rebate. This guide is based on the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) website and the official zakat portals of Selangor, the Federal Territories, Perak and Kedah. We read them on 25 Oct 2026.

How zakat reduces your income tax

• A rebate, not a relief: zakat, fitrah and other obligatory Islamic payments qualify as a tax rebate under subsection 6A(3) of the Income Tax Act 1967. The payment must be made to a religious authority set up under written law.
• Limit: the zakat rebate is capped at the income tax charged for that year of assessment. Any excess is not refunded and cannot be carried forward.
• Official receipt: the claim must be supported by an official receipt from the religious authority, including the Zakat Collection Centres and State Islamic Religious Councils.
• Salary deduction: in LHDN's 2026 PCB formula, zakat deducted from your monthly salary is subtracted directly from that month's PCB.

Example: if your income tax is RM1,200 a year and you pay RM1,000 in zakat, the tax you pay falls to RM200. If you pay RM1,500 in zakat, your tax falls to RM0, and the remaining RM300 is not refunded.

Zakat rates and nisab

The nisab and the method of calculating zakat are set by each state's zakat authority. Use the calculator or assessment service on your state's official portal before you pay.

Watch out for fake links and agents

Pay only through official portals, zakat authority counters or appointed agents, and keep the official receipt for your rebate claim. Type the portal address yourself and do not pay through links or personal bank accounts sent by message.

If you have been scammed, call the 997 line, which runs 24 hours, as soon as possible so the accounts involved can be blocked (RTM, 6 Jul 2026). You can check a suspicious message with the Scam Message Checker.
