SMS Guest Lecture Series: Session on Zakat and Tax Reforms

An insightful session on “Awareness on Zakat and Tax Reforms” was conducted at Beaconhouse National University (BNU) with Mr. Qanit Khalil Ullah, a Chartered Accountant, Economist, and Public Policy Expert. The session provided students with a deeper understanding of Pakistan’s economic structure, taxation framework, and the pivotal role of Zakat in promoting equitable growth.

Mr. Qanit delved into the interconnection between fiscal policy, social welfare, and faith-based economic principles. Emphasizing Zakat as a vital pillar for strengthening Muslim economies, he discussed how effective Zakat governance can contribute to poverty alleviation, social equity, and financial inclusion.

Drawing from his extensive experience in corporate and policy sectors — including senior roles at Unilever and Ufone — Mr. Qanit shared practical insights into the implementation of tax reforms and faith-driven economic models. Currently leading the Policy Research Initiative for a Zakat-Based Interest-Free Economy (PRIZE), he encouraged students to rethink the role of ethics and faith in economic policy-making.
