Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Value Added Tax Law (1975) in order to reverse the liability for paying the tax in certain types of transactions. Instead of the service provider being liable for the tax, the liability will apply to the recipient of the service, if they are a dealer. This applies to manpower services (including cleaning, guarding and security) and construction work. The explanatory notes state that the aim is to fight the phenomenon of illegal distribution of tax invoices in these sectors, which affects state revenues.
