9 Immigration to Israel 1 Law of Return and the Jewish Agency Categories: New Residents, Veteran Returning Residents, Returning Residents ; all entitled to very generous tax exemptions on foreign source income. Veteran Returning Resident is an individual who was a former resident, and after being a non-resident for at least ten consecutive years, has returned permanently to Israel in 2007 or afterwards. There is no formal notice to the ITA which is required upon immigration or returning residency. 9
10 Immigration to Israel 2 Fiscal residence is the place where the individual has his center of life ; rebuttable presumption: presence in Israel during 183 days or more during any tax year, or 425 or more during a tax year and the two previous ones. Returning Resident an individual who was a former resident, and after being a non-resident for at least six consecutive years has returned permanently to Israel. enjoy reduced exemptions on foreign source income: five-year exemption on passive income only; ten-year exemption on capital gains, but only from assets acquired before immigration.

First year from the date of immigration to be a tax-exempt "adaptation period", for both New Residents and Returning Residents ; possible to elect for no adaptation period No reporting duties, for both New and Returning Residents 11
12 Immigration to Israel 4 The Effect of the Tax Holiday on the Taxation of Trusts If a non-resident settlor/contributor of a Relatives Trusts or Foreign Residents Trusts becomes a New Resident, these Trusts are reclassified as an Israeli Resident Trust,, but the trust income becomes eligible to the same tax benefits granted to the New Resident settlor under the Tax Holiday, as long as the beneficiaries are also eligible for the Tax Holiday, and/or are non-residents or Public Purpose Beneficiaries. If the New Resident immigrated to Israel before August 1, 2013 (but after 2007), then the Trusts will continue to enjoy the said benefits even if the beneficiaries are not eligible for the Tax Holiday. 12
13 Immigration to Israel 5 points worth mentioning Forthcoming possible reporting obligations Trust for the benefits of New and Returning Residents Use of offshore companies by returning residents purchased residency not a possibility 13
