What happened
Israeli landlords must choose among three tax tracks on rental income in 2026, affecting annual taxes and future capital gains tax. Options include a full exemption below a 5,654 shekel monthly threshold, a fixed 10% tax, or a graduated tax allowing expense deductions. Depreciation rules can increase capital gains tax upon sale, making the choice critical for landlords with multiple properties or those planning to sell soon.
- 01Three tax tracks exist for Israeli rental income: exemption, fixed 10%, and graduated with deductions.
- 02Full exemption applies if total monthly rental income is below 5,654 shekels in 2026.
- 03Fixed 10% tax is simple but disallows expense deductions, paid annually by January 30.
- 04Graduated tax allows expense and depreciation deductions but may increase capital gains tax later.
- 05Depreciation not deducted in exemption or 10% tracks increases taxable gain on sale.
- 06Exemption threshold applies to combined rental income of landlord, spouse, and children under 18.
