SHAH ALAM, Sept 28 – The Selangor Zakat Board (LZS) confirmed that it had never received any kind of zakat payment from GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) or its subsidiaries.
LZS Head of Collection Division Mohd Fikri Naim Harun said this was despite the board having held talks on tithe collection at GISBH premises.
“There are more than 20 GISBH-related companies on our list but none have made zakat payments to LZS. We also cannot determine the tithe amount required to be paid by GISBH and their subsidiaries because we have never received any information regarding their assets and liabilities,“ he said.
He told reporters this at the launch of the Selangor Tithe Carnival 2024 at Dataran Stadium Shah Alam on Saturday.
Mohd Fikri Naim said the amount of business zakat payment is usually assessed after LZS receives information about the assets owned and the liabilities incurred by the company in question.
