• 30 March 2026 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 285), התשפ"ו-2026Bill to Amend the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 285), 2026auto61 for · 52 against · 113 of 120 votedCoalition 61:0 · Opposition 0:52Supporters saidautoThe budget includes important economic reforms – promoting competition in the banking and guarantees markets, taxing bank profits, widening tax brackets, and encouraging research and development – which will reduce the cost of living and strengthen growth.Speakers who made this point: 4Opponents saidautoThe budget allocates approximately 6 billion NIS (and according to some speakers even more, following the exposure of an additional unsupervised item of about 5.8 billion NIS) to coalition-sectoral funds, alongside parallel cuts to the welfare, health, education and transportation ministries, which demonstrates exploitation of the war for political survival and coalition bribery rather than for the benefit of the general public.Speakers who made this point: 1861 members spoke · 3 reservations
• 31 December 2024 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק ההתייעלות הכלכלית (תיקוני חקיקה להשגת יעדי התקציב לשנת 2025) (מיסוי רווחים לא מחולקים), התשפ"ה-2024Bill Economic Streamlining (legislative amendments for achieving 2025 budget targets) (Taxation of Undistributed Profits), 2024auto59 for · 58 against · 117 of 120 votedCoalition 59:6 · Opposition 0:52Supporters saidautoThe law creates tax equality between salaried employees, the self-employed, and company owners, so that everyone will ultimately pay a similar tax, preventing a distortion in which large capital owners pay less tax than salaried employees.Speakers who made this point: 1Opponents saidautoThe law, like other clauses in the 'Economic Efficiency Law,' is being passed as part of coalition manipulations, including secret agreements and budgetary payoffs between coalition parties that were not presented to the Knesset as required, in a manner that harms the integrity of the parliamentary process.Speakers who made this point: 218 members spoke
• 24 December 2024 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק ההתייעלות הכלכלית (תיקוני חקיקה להשגת יעדי התקציב לשנת התקציב 2025) (הקפאת עדכוני מס ומס יסף), התשפ"ה-2024Bill for Economic Efficiency (legislative amendments to achieve budget targets for fiscal year 2025) (freeze on tax and Nmexes updates), 2024auto55 for · 52 against · 107 of 120 votedCoalition 55:5 · Opposition 0:47Supporters saidautoThe additional surtax will mainly apply to very high capital income, so that those with the highest incomes will bear a significantly greater share of the economic burden, and the middle class will not be harmed.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe law is effectively an additional tax increase, through freezing income tax brackets and tax credit points, which erodes the net wages of employees and self-employed alike, while the government refuses to cut coalition funds and close unnecessary ministries that could have saved tens of billions of shekels and prevented the measure.Speakers who made this point: 447 members spoke
• 18 December 2024 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 275), התשפ"ה–2024Bill to Amend the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 275), 2024auto60 for · 51 against · 111 of 120 votedCoalition 60:0 · Opposition 0:51Supporters saidautoThe revised outline, which spreads the increase of the tax benefit over four years until reaching the maximum rate of 67%, achieves a proper balance between preserving the original benefit and the need for budgetary consolidation measures at this time.Speakers who made this point: 1Opponents saidautoThe government continues to distribute billions of shekels in coalition funds and maintains unnecessary ministries instead of cutting them as promised, thereby funding the harm to citizens.Speakers who made this point: 927 members spoke · 1,071 reservations
• 16 May 2022 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק הגדלת נקודות זיכוי להורים במס הכנסה והגדלת מענק עבודה (הוראת שעה), התשפ"ב-2022Bill Increase of Tax Credits for Parents in Income Tax and Increase of Work Bonus (temporary provision), 2022auto57 for · 49 against · 106 of 120 votedCoalition 56:0 · Opposition 1:49Supporters saidautoThe law grants a real and immediate financial benefit, retroactive from January 2022, to hundreds of thousands of working families and low-wage workers, and serves as a tool for reducing gaps and poverty.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoMost of the money in the law actually goes to the upper deciles and the upper-middle class, while the lower deciles, the true middle class, and weaker populations (including Arab and Haredi society) barely benefit from it, since many of them do not reach the income tax payment threshold at all.Speakers who made this point: 634 members spoke · 1 reservation
• 17 July 2018 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 248), התשע"ח-2018Bill to Amend the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 248), 2018auto56 for · 50 against · 106 of 120 votedCoalition 56:0 · Opposition 0:50Supporters saidautoThe Prime Minister's conditions should be equated with those of the President of the State, since in both cases it concerns a single, senior officeholder who is not 'first among equals' with the other ministers, and therefore this does not constitute a violation of equality.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThis is a benefit granted to the sitting Prime Minister personally and immediately, whereas it would have been logical and appropriate to apply any such change only to future prime ministers, which proves that the motive is personal rather than principled.Speakers who made this point: 420 members spoke · 85 reservations

• 2 August 2016 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מסי העירייה ומסי הממשלה (פטורין) (מס' 26), התשע"ו-2016Bill to Amend the Municipal Taxes and Government Taxes Ordinance (Exemptions) (No. 26), 2016auto46 for · 27 against · 73 of 120 votedCoalition 37:0 · Opposition 9:27Supporters saidautoThere is distortion and discrimination between local associations and national associations providing public services (health, welfare, food distribution) that are eligible for exemption, where only the broader activity is penalized with a property tax charge.Speakers who made this point: 3Opponents saidautoThe law imposes on local authorities, especially weaker ones, a financial cost (loss of property tax revenue) without the state bearing the burden sufficiently, and therefore the granting of the exemption should remain discretionary rather than mandatory, or full compensation should be guaranteed.Speakers who made this point: 315 members spoke
• 27 June 2016 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 226), התשע"ו-2016Bill to Amend the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 226), 2016auto38 for · 30 against · 68 of 120 votedCoalition 38:0 · Opposition 0:30Supporters saidautoThe law corrects an existing discrimination, since an Israeli resident in the area is liable for full taxes as an Israeli resident but does not enjoy the tax benefits granted under the Capital Investment Encouragement Laws, unlike the grants already given to him by virtue of an administrative arrangement.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe law is another step in a systematic trend of granting benefits, grants and budgets to settlements and communities in Judea and Samaria at the expense of the periphery and the middle class in Israel.Speakers who made this point: 316 members spoke · 4 reservations
• 29 March 2016 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 222), התשע"ו-2016Bill to Amend Income Tax Ordinance (No. 222), 2016auto38 for · 19 against · 5 abst. · 62 of 120 votedCoalition 34:0 · Opposition 4:19Supporters saidautoThe law encourages the establishment of additional REITs and provides a financial tool that allows the general public and institutional bodies to invest in real estate and rental housing without purchasing an apartment, while spreading risk and strengthening the capital market.Speakers who made this point: 4Opponents saidautoThere is a lack of clarity and an internal contradiction between presenting the law as a solution to the housing crisis and it being merely a financial tool; if the shares rise in value, it is a sign that housing prices will also rise, contrary to the goal of lowering prices.Speakers who made this point: 314 members spoke · 2 reservations
• 4 January 2016 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 216), התשע"ו-2015Bill for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 216), 2015auto48 for · 30 against · 78 of 120 votedCoalition 45:0 · Opposition 3:30Supporters saidautoThe reduction in corporate tax generates growth, promotes businesses, and drives investment in the economy.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe high cost of the reduction (billions of shekels) comes at the expense of funding essential social services such as education, health, welfare and the fight against poverty, thereby deepening inequality.Speakers who made this point: 615 members spoke · 1 reservation
• 19 November 2015 · Third readingLaw passedהצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת מס הכנסה (מס' 207), התשע"ו-2015Bill to amend the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 207), 2015auto57 for · 55 against · 112 of 120 votedCoalition 57:0 · Opposition 0:55Supporters saidautoThis is the first social budget of its kind in years, including benefits rather than cuts for the country's citizens.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThere is concern about additional political and budgetary agreements that were not fully reported to the Knesset, and about a voting mechanism for the reservations that is not legal and is not anchored in the Knesset Bylaws.Speakers who made this point: 28 members spoke
