When It Works
The family company election (Section 64A) is beneficial when: total family income is below the top brackets, the representative taxpayer has personal deductions/losses to offset, and the business distributes most of its profits. It avoids the double taxation of company + dividend. It works best for moderate-income family businesses.
When It Doesn't Work
Above ~₪700,000 in company profit, the standard corporate rate (23%) plus deferred dividend is usually better. Also disadvantageous if the family company has high NI obligations on attributed income.
