Abstract
Home ownership is a necessity for human and one of the critical issues is to obtain affordable financing in purchasing a house. While Islamic home financing has been widely discussed in the form of cost, not much has been highlighted on the tax impact specifically tax incentives for Islamic home financing. Therefore, this paper discusses the tax treatment of Islamic home financing in both Malaysia and Jordan. A comparative analysis on the tax treatment of Islamic home financing between these two countries are worthy to be explored considering both are Muslim majority populated countries. The paper uses descriptive content analysis in examining relevant tax documents and past studies to compare the tax treatment of Islamic home financing in both countries. The discussions concluded that Islamic home financing in both countries is not given the appropriate tax incentives to encourage bank customers to obtain Islamic home financing. Very few studies have attempted to highlight this issue despite the importance of Islamic home financing in the society which suggests an opportunity for researchers to explore this area.
