This article will discuss Zakat and taxes from an advantageous perspective. Zakat and taxes are two obligations that must be carried out by Muslims in Indonesia. This tax is charged to every citizen who should pay taxes, which are at first glance looks very contradicted to Islamic teachings. In Islamic teachings, groups of people are obliged to spend a small portion of their assets as Zakat, namely those who have been categorized as capable persons already having had Nishab to give Zakat. By conducting literature studies and a descriptive analysis approach, it is found that Zakat contains the hope of obtaining blessings, cleansing the soul, cultivating it with various virtues, and fostering cleanliness and benefits on the assets owned. Tax and Zakat possess the same purpose namely a source of funds to create a just and prosperous society by sustaining equitability between material and spiritual needs. Taxes are used to finance activities in the fields and sectors of development. The distribution of Zakat to Mustahik, especially the poor and needy people, is expected to support their economic life to help national economic growth.

In 2015 Bangka Belitung Islands Province GRDP had a share of around 0.5 percent of Indonesia's GDP. The largest share is West Bangka Regency with 11.46 trillion rupiahs, while the smallest one is East Belitung with 6.112 trillion rupiahs.To find out picture of economic growth and the influence of variable prices of palm oil commodities, LFPR, HDI income inequality, open unemployment and the percentage of the poor on economic growth in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province 2008-2015, the method used is descriptive analysis and panel data regression.The best model for estimating GDRP growth in Bangka Belitung Islands Province in 2008-2015 is the fix effect model with Seemingly Uncorrelated Regression Method. With alpha 5 percent, the variables that significantly influence economic growth are HDI, the percentage of the poor, labor force participation rate (LFPR), income inequality, open unemployment rate and world commodity prices.economic growth

Analysis And Synthesis

The paper presents the economic and mathematical theories of exchange by W.S. Jevons, L. Walras, J.E. Stiglitz, B. Holmström, and others. Theories of exchange are classified into classical (J.B. Say), neoclassical (A. Marshall), contractual (B. Holmström), natural scientific (V. Pareto), statistical. Mathematical models of exchange allow deepening the concept of competition. They show competition from the interaction of producers and the resulting uncertainty of exchange. It is shown that the emphasis on exchange to the detriment of production or, conversely, underestimation of exchange in economic regulation leads to a slowdown in economic growth. Research methods: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, the method of comparative descriptive analysis, economic and mathematical analysis.

Inadequacy of capital results in inefficient utilisation of resources in the rural areas. It does not only impact negatively on national economic growth but also proves to be instrumental in keeping the poor trapped in poverty as formalised traditional capital markets remain beyond the reach of the poor. In such cases, then, micro-financing services offer the best solution to the aforementioned problem. It is encouraging to note that micro-financing is being recognised as a powerful tool in alleviating poverty and promoting growth and development at the grassroots level.

The revenue collected from the value added tax constitutes the main income of the Kosovo government. For this reason, this research has a great importance in the formulation of effective policies in Kosovo that will subsequently improve the efficiency of tax collection of Value Added and growing fiscal and budgetary stability. This research it will have a descriptive analysis of the trends of VAT collection in Kosovo from 2005- 2015 years using different analytical techniques to examine trends and data structure over the years. We have used two types of analysis; One is the descriptive analysis of trends and the other is the contrast of the descriptive analysis of trends that is the econometric technique used to analyze the VAT effect on economic growth in Kosovo. The source of data for this study is secondary through the Annual Financial Report of the Ministry of Finance of Kosovo and the IMF. In order to analyze the data generated for the study, the statistical tool utilized is OLS technique (multiple regression). One of the key findings in the collection of VAT has been its dependence on the border. Revenue collection is among the most pressing problems and such situation does not guarantee a country's budgetary stability. Also, based on the findings we noted that the VAT share of the gathering in gross domestic product of the Interior of the country has been low compared to other countries in Europe developing, reflecting a low level of economic development. Also from econometric analysis is confirmed that the regression coefficient shows that we have a VAT impact on GDP in Kosovo, because the level of significance is .000, or includes the rate of 1%. Also, the correlation between VAT and GDP shows a strong positive relationship, or statistically interpreted with the increase of VAT, will increase the GDP of Kosovo, these two elements conclude that VAT has a significant impact on economic growth in Kosovo. Furthermore, this research highlight some key issues that policy makers should consider dealing with the collection and effective use of revenue collected from VAT, to improve growth.
