Israel's Tax Authority has opened a channel for businesses to file claims for compensation due to direct damages to their property or residences, resulting from protection rackets. The period for damages covered by this provision is from September 24, 2026, to November 23, 2026. To be eligible for compensation, businesses must possess a valid operating license and have filed a police complaint regarding the extortion. Claims must be submitted online to the Tax Authority's compensation fund within seven days of the damage occurring. Crucially, claimants are instructed not to repair any damage before an assessor from the Property Tax division has inspected it.
