The Ruling on Counting Taxes as Zakah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to consider the taxes that some Muslims pay in their countries as part of their zakah?

Answer:
No, I mean, if it was taken from you by force, do you want to make it zakah? That is not acceptable, yes.
