Israeli Tax Authority Denies Tax Credits to Yeshivas Hosting IDF Draft Dodgers
The Israeli Tax Authority has informed dozens of yeshivas that host students evading mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that they will no longer be eligible for tax credits on donations. This directive, issued under the guidance of the State Attorney's legal advisor, affects donations amounting to millions of shekels that support these institutions' operations. Initial notices sent to some yeshivas require their leaders to disclose whether any students have unresolved military service status according to army regulations. Additional religious institutions are expected to receive similar notifications this week. Some yeshivas that previously benefited from tax exemptions must now commit to not accepting new students who avoid IDF service.
