Israel Considers Tax Break for Tech Founders to Curb Exodus

Israel's Ministry of Finance is exploring a tax exemption on capital gains of up to 45 million shekels for tech entrepreneurs and investors to prevent companies and founders from relocating abroad. The proposal, inspired by U.S. tax incentives, aims to retain the vital high-tech sector, which contributes significantly to Israel's economy.
