Income Tax Ordinance Amendment (Credit Points for Parents of Soldiers) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (נקודות זיכוי להורי חיילים)

TL;DRA proposal to add an income tax credit point for parents of soldiers in regular service, with each parent receiving a credit for each child serving.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Income Tax Ordinance by adding a tax credit point for parents of soldiers in regular service. Each parent will receive a credit for each child serving in regular service, unless the parents live separately; in that case, the parent who supports the child will receive the credit in full, or the credit will be divided between the parents according to their share of the support expenses. The proposal is justified by the need to help parents support soldiers whose pay is low and for whom their parents' support is essential.
