Residency in Israel: When and Why Should You Contact the Israel Tax Authority to Obtain a Ruling?
New immigrants and returning residents are entitled, by law, to a tax exemption on income originating outside of Israel for a period of ten years after they become Israeli residents. In particular instances, we recommend applying for a tax ruling from the Israel Tax Authority (ITA), especially when the date of receipt of new immigrant status differs from the date of the actual relocation of center of life to Israel.
