About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It was determined that Section 141(a) of the Income Tax Ordinance (requiring money changers to report to the Director transactions in an amount of NIS 50,000 or more) would be made a permanent provision. Accordingly, Section 195B(b) of the Income Tax Ordinance (imposing a monetary sanction on money changers who violated the reporting obligation), which was also set as a temporary provision, was anchored and made a permanent provision.

נקבע כי סעיף 141(א) לפקודת מס הכנסה (חובת דיווח של חלפני כספים למנהל על ביצוע פעולה בסכום של 50,000 ש"ח ומעלה) יוסדר כהוראת קבע. בהתאם, עוגן סעיף 195ב(ב) לפקודת מס הכנסה (הטלת עיצום כספי על חלפני כספים שהפרו את חובת הדיווח) הקבוע גם כן כהוראת שעה והוסדר כהוראת קבע.
