Dividends
Dividends are taxed at 25% (30% for substantial shareholders). Dividends between Israeli companies are exempt. Foreign dividends are taxed at 25% with a credit for foreign withholding tax.
Royalties
Royalties from intellectual property are generally taxed as business income at marginal rates (if the creator's primary activity) or at 25% if received by a passive holder. Withholding tax of 20%–30% applies at source.
