Israel Signs Historic Tax Deal to Boost Diamond Trade

Israel's Diamond Exchange and Tax Authority have signed a historic tax agreement for 2027-2028, aiming to make Israel a competitive global diamond trading center. Spearheaded by President Nissim Zohar and supported by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the deal offers fixed, low tax rates based on turnover and eliminates minimum income requirements. This positions Israel against rivals like Belgium and Dubai with more favorable tax and import policies, encouraging international companies to establish operations in Israel.
