Why zakat when we are paying tax in our country

please, i need some clerification here.

is it compulsory to pay zakat again? since we are paying tax to the government.

Dear abdool,

In short, you can deduct your Tax amount from the Zakah.

For details, please check the following:

yes abdool, Atif is right. calculate your paid taxes & pay only remaining amount in Zakat account if needed.
