Reserve Service Law (Amendment – Reducing the Tax Rate on Compensation for Reservists) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק שירות המילואים (תיקון - הפחתת שיעור המס שחל על תגמולים למשרתי מילואים)

TL;DRA bill to reduce the income tax rate on reservists' compensation from 25% to 10%.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill provides that compensation for reservists, as defined in the Reserve Service Law, will be subject to income tax at a rate of 10% instead of the current 25%. The explanatory notes state that a significant share of reservists are young people (aged 21-30) with low income, and in the current situation the 25% tax rate that applies to them is higher than the tax rates on other income at a similar income level. The bill is meant to improve the economic situation of this group and to create equal treatment between reservists and the general population.
