Real Estate Taxation (Capital Gains and Purchase) Law (Amendment – Representation of a Taxpayer by an Accountant and a Representing Tax Consultant) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק מיסוי מקרקעין (שבח ורכישה) (תיקון - ייצוג נישום על ידי רואה חשבון ויועץ מס מייצג)

TL;DRA proposal to expand the powers of accountants and tax advisers to represent taxpayers in general proceedings under the Real Estate Taxation Law.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends Section 109A of the Real Estate Taxation (Appreciation and Acquisition) Law, to remove the existing restriction that limits representation of taxpayers by accountants and tax advisers to objection proceedings against an assessment related to the calculation of the tax only. Under the proposal, they will be able to represent taxpayers in all proceedings conducted under the law and before the director or their employees. The proposal may reduce the need for the services of additional professionals (such as lawyers) in these proceedings and simplify the process.
