Arrangements in the State Economy Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving the Budget Targets) (Amendment – Municipal Property Tax Discount for People with Disabilities) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק ההסדרים במשק המדינה (תיקוני חקיקה להשגת יעדי התקציב) (תיקון - הנחה בארנונה לנכים)

TL;DRThe bill allows local authorities to grant an arnona discount to people with work-related disabilities, similar to people receiving general disability benefits.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the State Economy Arrangements Law to authorize local authorities to grant an arnona discount to recipients of a work disability pension (as defined in the National Insurance Law), provided that the degree of disability or the percentage of incapacity to earn that was determined is not lower than the rate set by the minister. Currently, local authorities may grant an arnona discount only to recipients of a general disability pension, which leaves people with work-related disabilities without eligibility for the discount, despite their similar social situation.
