Khums Project Draft & Charts

.
 
There is insufficient clear English content for Khums ,an important obligation. Khums affects other acts of worship & in case we can help others to fulfill this obligation correctly, It has great potential to provide the resources required for community change.

We need One good document explaining all aspects of Khums. This also needs to include common Income Tax concepts i.e. Income chargeable / exempt, C/f-Set off of loss, Accounting period, Expenses allowable / not allowable as deduction, Tax Payment in advance / delayed,  Capital/Revenue, borrowings personal / bzns, Amt in hand/possession, Unused items, Investment valuation /cost  etc. It can have spreadsheet examples & download web address as well

A spreadsheet has been developed to give examples of Khums calculations These are only sample cases & No answers are available as yet Objective of putting this is for knowledgeable persons to review & suggest solutions
