We have previously discussed who is required to file a tax return in Israel \u2013 see\u00a0here\u00a0<\/a>for more details.<\/p>\n

As part of the tax authority\u2019s attempt to ensure that everyone pays their fair share of tax, a recent amendment to the tax law has added a further three situations which would require a person to file a tax return. These will come into effect for the 2016 tax filings:<\/p>\n

1. Anyone who is a beneficiary of a trust (irrespective of whether distributions are received), provided that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They are aged 25 or above<\/li>\n
  2. The value of the trust assets exceeds 500,000 NIS<\/li>\n
  3. They are aware that they are beneficiary (it may be fairly difficult to prove otherwise)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    See\u00a0here\u00a0<\/a>for the definition of a beneficiary of a trust.<\/p>\n

    2. We have\u00a0previously\u00a0<\/a>discussed who is a resident. As mentioned, residency in Israel is based on a \u201ccentre of life\u201d test, but there are also two tests based on number of days spent in Israel which are\u00a0assumed<\/em>\u00a0to mean Israeli residency \u2013 although they can be argued against. Anyone meeting the day test, yet still claiming non-residency must file a tax return in Israel \u2013 explaining why they are not considered resident, as well as giving a report of their non-Israeli income that they are ostensibly arguing is exempt from Israeli taxation.<\/p>\n

    3. Anyone who has, over a 12 month period, transferred a sum of 500,000 NIS or more out of Israel. Seemingly, this includes transfers to a personal account abroad. The logic would seem to be that perhaps the Israeli is purchasing an asset abroad, and must therefore report any subsequent income. The rules say that a tax return is also required in the tax year following the transfer.<\/p>\n

    Needless to say that these criteria are in addition to the existing criteria for who is required to file a tax return.<\/p>\n
