Abstract

Cash flow is a major and critical input in the capital budgeting decision of private firms. Cash flow has been analyzed under taxes and inflation. However, zakat has never been analyzed. Zakat has different base and rates compared to other systems, therefore, it requires an intensive analysis. This study analyses and compares the impact of zakat with that of Saudi and American tax systems. Two models were developed, and an empirical analysis was performed. The results support the hypothesis of a lesser impact for zakat. Under equal discount rates and initial investments, zakat tends to accept more projects than the other two tax systems.
