Postponement of Deadlines (Payments of a Business Owner Serving in Active Reserve Duty) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק דחיית מועדים (תשלומים של בעל עסק המשרת בשירות מילואים פעיל)

TL;DRA bill to postpone payment deadlines to authorities for owners of micro and small businesses serving in active reserve duty, to 60 days after the end of their service.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill states that payments owed by an owner of a micro or small business to authorities (such as tax, National Insurance and municipal property tax) due to the business's obligations will be postponed to 60 days after the end of their period of reserve service, and this applies only to payments whose due date falls during the service. In addition, the bill sets a similar postponement for rent payments on commercial real estate, on condition that notice of this was given to the property owner. The postponement of the deadline will not be considered a breach of a contractual obligation or result in a charge of late-payment interest.
