National Insurance Law (Amendment – Exemption from Double Payment of National Insurance Contributions) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the National Insurance Law to allow an Israeli resident whose center of life is in Israel but whose main income is from abroad to be exempt from paying double National Insurance contributions. The exemption will apply only with respect to countries that have not signed a social security agreement with Israel. The worker will keep their right to minimum health insurance contributions and basic benefit rights. It is proposed to exclude from the exemption workers employed abroad by an Israeli employer, since the employer bears the duty of payment.
