Proposed law would reduce tax near construction sites

The Israel Federation of Independent Organizations and Tel Aviv deputy mayor Arnon Giladi are promoting legislation which if passed into law, will make traders located near a site where infrastructure works have been ongoing for more than 30 days eligible for a discount of up to 25% on local property tax.

Under the proposal, the rate of property tax charged to the trader while work is in progress will not exceed 75% of the annual charge. The size of the discount will be determined by the type and duration of the work in progress, the extent to which it is disrupting trading.
