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 from abroad from paying double National Insurance contributions, while preserving their basic rights.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the National Insurance Law to grant an exemption from paying National Insurance contributions to Israeli residents whose main work and main income come from outside Israel, and who pay social insurance contributions in another country. The worker will be required to continue paying minimum health insurance contributions and minimum National Insurance contributions in Israel, in order to preserve their basic rights to benefits. Exceptions to the exemption: workers sent abroad by an Israeli employer, and residents with variable income originating from two countries. The proposal does not apply to residents with a social security agreement between Israel and their country of employment.
