Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Land Taxation (Appreciation and Acquisition) Law (Amendment No. 85 and temporary provision), 2016 (hereinafter - the Amendment), was passed in second and third reading on 29 March 2016.

The Amendment further establishes equivalences between the time periods specified regarding a single residential apartment in acquisition tax and in appreciation tax, both during the period of the temporary provision and thereafter. This arrangement will take effect on 1 January [sic] in May 2016. The Amendment also raised the share of an heir of a residential apartment from up to a third to up to half regarding the presumption of a single residential apartment.
