Income Tax Ordinance Amendment (Credit Points for Parents of Soldiers) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (נקודות זיכוי להורי חיילים)

TL;DRA proposal to add an income tax credit point for parents of soldiers in regular service.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Income Tax Ordinance to grant a credit point to each parent for each child serving in regular service. If the parents live separately, the credit point will be granted to the parent who supports the serving child; if the support is shared, each parent will receive part of the credit point according to their share of the support expenses. The proposal emphasizes that soldiers are economically dependent on their parents due to restrictions on their own earnings in the army.
