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

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - פטור מכפל תשלום דמי ביטוח לאומי)

TL;DRA proposal to exempt Israeli workers whose main income is abroad from paying double National Insurance contributions in Israel.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the National Insurance Law to exempt an Israeli resident whose main income is outside Israel and who pays social insurance contributions in another country from the obligation to pay National Insurance contributions in Israel, except for workers sent abroad by their Israeli employer. The worker will stop paying National Insurance contributions but will be required to continue paying health insurance contributions and minimum National Insurance contributions to preserve basic benefit rights. The bill aims to equalize the situation of workers in Israel with that of workers in countries that have signed social security agreements with Israel, and to protect the social security of Israeli residents working abroad.
