Foreign Income

Worldwide Taxation

Israeli residents are taxed on income from all sources worldwide. Foreign employment income is taxed at marginal rates. Foreign business income is taxed at marginal rates with foreign expense deductions. Foreign investment income (interest, dividends, capital gains) is taxed at the applicable Israeli rates.

Foreign Tax Credit

Tax paid to a foreign country on the same income can be credited against the Israeli tax, up to the Israeli tax amount on that income. Excess credits can be carried forward for 5 years. The credit is calculated per 'basket' of income (business, passive, capital gains).
