TL;DRA proposal to grant a 50% exemption from municipal property tax (arnona) to reservists in active service during the war period, with full indemnification of local authorities.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Local Authorities (Exemption of Soldiers, War Victims and Police Officers from Property Tax) Law so that reservists who were in active service from October 7, 2023 until the end of the declaration of a state of emergency on the home front will receive a 50% exemption from municipal property tax during their period of service. The Ministry of Interior will be required to indemnify local authorities for the value of the property tax lost as a result of the exemption, in order to preserve their ability to provide public services.
