Arrangements in the State Economy Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving the Budget Targets) (Amendment No. 20) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the State Economy Arrangements Law regarding discounts on municipal property tax (arnona) payments for disabled family members. Currently, the arnona discount is given only for a disabled child who received a benefit, only until age 18, at a rate of up to 33%. The bill sets that the discount will be calculated for every person eligible for a benefit due to disability, even if they are over age 18 and did not receive a disabled child benefit, as long as the total rate of discounts does not exceed 90% of the total arnona. The change applies to holders of properties used for residence and to councils of local authorities that are authorized to set the discounts.
