Overview

An individual land owner shall be exempt from the compulsory levy of Usher if the production from their land is less than 948 kilograms of wheat. This threshold is designed to protect small-scale farmers and low-income landowners from the burden of Ushr, and to ensure that they are not unfairly penalized for their limited agricultural production. The exemption is a recognition of the challenges faced by small-scale farmers, and is intended to support their economic viability and contribute to rural development.


The exemption threshold is an important aspect of the Ushr system, as it helps to balance the need to collect revenue with the need to protect vulnerable members of society. By setting a realistic and fair threshold, the Ushr system can ensure that it is equitable and effective, and that it supports the overall well-being of rural communities. The exemption also serves as an incentive for small-scale farmers to increase their production and improve their livelihoods, which can have a positive impact on the local economy and food security**.
