Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק מס ערך מוסף (תיקון - פטור ממס על תשר)
TL;DRA proposal to exempt service charges in restaurants from value added tax, when the service is provided by the business owner's employee.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a VAT exemption for service charges that a business owner in a restaurant receives for service provided by their employee. The change is made in Section 7 of the Value Added Tax Law (5736) and by adding Section 23(6) to the law. The rationale states that the increase in the VAT rate and the taxation of service charges threatens the existence of many businesses in the restaurant industry, which is in an economic crisis.
