Multi Residential Apartment Tax effective as of January 1, 2017
Individuals (including foreign residents) who own three or more residential apartments in Israel will pay a new annual tax on the third apartment and above. The annual tax will be 1 % of the value of the apartment but limited to NIS 18,000 a year. This new tax on multi residential homes is supposed to be another measure to rein the soaring prices of homes and to encourage the sale of residential homes and thereby making more homes available for people buying them to live in.
