Dear,

Under Section 60, A person shall be entitled to a deductible allowance for the amount of any Zakat paid by the person in a tax year under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980).

Zakat is totally exempted, if it is paid to the specified institutions.
Amount paid as zakat should be deducted from the total income to arrive at the taxable income i.e. if 10,000 has been paid as zakat to the specified institution, and total income is 400,000 then 10,000 will be deducted from 400,000 and tax rate will be applied on the reminder, i.e. on 390,000. Since in this case, 390,000 has been calculated to be taxable income.

I hope, you have been replied.

Regards,
