The company collects value added tax (VAT) on its turnover and deducts the VAT paid on its expenses. The current VAT rate in Israel is 17% (as of December 2018). VAT must be paid before the 15th of the following month for companies whose turnover exceeds 1.5 million NIS (or those legally obliged to use double-entry bookkeeping) and once every two months for other companies. Companies with an annual turnover of less than 99,000 NIS (in Hebrew, <em>osek patur<\/em>) are exempt from VAT. Regardless of income, all companies must report their annual income at the end of the year.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span lang=\"en\">Our law firm often helps companies open a VAT file with the assistance of a local CPA as well as with the electronic declaration and monthly electronic payment.\u00a0 A foreign company must appoint a tax representative for the declaration and payment of VAT in Israel.
