Should I pay zakat on my business inventory and assets?

Yes, zakat is due on business inventory intended for sale, cash reserves, and trade goods after they reach nisab and are held for a lunar year. Calculate 2.5% of the wholesale value of inventory plus business cash. Fixed assets like equipment aren't zakatable unless bought for resale.
