Self-employed? Due to the security situation, Bituach Leumi (the National Insurance) is offering relief:

📉 Reduction of advance income tax payments: You can request a reduction of advances based on a declaration only.
- Represented by a tax advisor/accountant – through the "Client Representation System"
- For unrepresented – via Form 672: https://go.gov.il/tofes-672-he

💳 Debt settlement – You can settle your debt payments without linkage and without fines, through a long payment schedule. Via the hotline *6050 or 04-8812345.

📆 Late payment of insurance premiums: Self-employed persons who do not pay by the 15th of the month – Bituach Leumi will facilitate their request to postpone payment. It will also facilitate requests to cancel seizures which were imposed prior to Operation Sha’agat HaAri.

🔓 Freezing of enforcement actions: Bituach Leumi is freezing enforcement actions and will not impose new seizures during this period.

🎨 Classification Order for Insured Persons: Tour guides, artists, and similar individuals whose status in Bituach Leumi is "employee by virtue of a Classification Order" - upon the passage of the legislation adopting the Treasury's framework regarding compulsory unpaid leave (“Chalat”), a dedicated form will be published for filing unemployment benefit claims, similar to the procedure put in place during Operation Am KeLavi.
