What happened
A Haifa court ordered the city of Kiryat Ata to cancel a discriminatory property tax rate imposed on a nursery, which had caused the business's annual tax bill to skyrocket from NIS 31,000 to NIS 4.85 million after its land was annexed from a regional council. The court found the rate, 2.5 times higher than similar businesses elsewhere in the city, to be unreasonable and specifically tailored to the single nursery.
