Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Real Estate Taxation (Betterment and Purchase) Law so that purchase taxes are imposed on a right in land that constitutes a residential apartment: 8% on a value of up to a certain amount, and 10% on a higher value. The previous arrangement was a temporary provision that was in force until the end of 2024. The bill provides that the amendment will apply to sales made from a certain date, and it applies to buyers of residential apartments, mainly investors making repeated real estate transactions.
