Realization of Economic Justice with the Islamic Tax System

Fatemeh Soleimani, Abolfazl Ranjbari

Abstract


Today, many duties are placed on the shoulders of governments, which were not considered in the past. Governments are obliged to enter and intervene in matters such as education, health, strengthening the internal and external security system. Governments have to pay for this intervention. Therefore, due to the increase in expenses, it is not possible to expect the Islamic government to fulfill the duties and functions that have been placed on it by the requirements of the new world, relying only on Sharia tax sources such as zakat and khums. No crime and with the necessity of the times, tax resources have emerged that are first established and secondly dependent. It is established in the sense that they are new and without history, and it is submissive in the sense that they are subject to the specified Shari'a taxes and should not be in conflict with it. Paying Shariah taxes is basically considered worship and it is obligatory on the tax payer to calculate and pay his property or income. In the new tax laws, although it is possible to see the pale colors of worship, but these are the government agencies that calculate the amount of property and income of individuals and oblige the person to pay, that is why the phenomenon of evasion in the present age. A tax is raised and the government system prosecutes the perpetrator.
