TL;DRA bill to reduce the late-payment surcharge for non-payment of an administrative fine from 50% to 30% in the first half year and to 3.5% for each additional half year.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends section 17 of the Administrative Offenses Law (5746-1985). Currently, when a person does not pay an administrative fine on time, a late-payment surcharge of 50% of the fine is added. The bill reduces this rate to 30% for a period of six months from the due date, and to 3.5% for each additional six-month period. The bill applies to every person required to pay an administrative fine who did not pay on time.
