السؤال

Is it permissible to work in the tax department of the HMRC which is likely to have some involvement in interest based transactions ? I enquired from HMRC whether or not throughout the role there is any interest related transactions such as charging or taking interest, I got the following reply “In respect of charging interest by law interest can be charged as part of a compliance settlement. As a Tax Professional you would be expected to negotiate this settlement and calculate the Tax, interest and penalties due under the legislation. You personally do not charge or receive interest but apply the legislation to the situation in your role as a civil servant and payment is made to the exchequer. I am not familiar with the detail of Sharia law but Muslim colleagues I have asked state there is a difference between applying the legislation under the law of the land as an HMRC employee and personally charging and receiving interest and as such it doesn’t impact on their religious beliefs”.
