The enacted Knesset law sets the qualifying arrival window, annual caps, close-relative cap, and 2026 proration. The Israel Tax Authority’s Circular 07/2026 explains implementation.
Scope: simplified annual Israeli income tax only. It assumes the entered amount is qualifying earned income and does not model business deductions, spouse calculations, National Insurance, pension credits, foreign income, foreign-asset or foreign-income reporting, losses, special tax rates, additional surtaxes, tax treaties, cessation-of-residency rules, or advance-ruling requirements. Close-relative arrangements require professional review.
