Israel Tax Authority Opens “Fast Track” for Filing Claims for Direct Damage
Amid Operation "Rising Lion" with Iran, and in light of the increasing number of shockwave and direct hits to buildings, the Israel Tax Authority today opened the option to file compensation claims for direct damage via a "Fast Track.
This track is intended for filing claims for damage to structures and contents only, for an amount not exceeding NIS 10,000, for individuals only (not businesses), who meet the definition of a “damaged party” under the Property Tax Law (i.e., the property owner or a person who proves that they bear the cost of restoring the property, or the owner of the damaged contents, including a tenant).
The Fast Track requires identity verification through the Israel Tax Authority’s digital services and submission of declarations and documents (photos), for which the claimant declares responsibility. It is emphasized that submitting false declarations will result in a demand to return the compensation and enforcement of legal measures.
Filing via the Fast Track replaces the standard filing process and is limited to one claim per household and one claim per event. Payment of compensation is conditional upon submitting an invoice no later than 30 days from the date of payment. Failure to present the invoice by this deadline will result in a demand to return the compensation.
Alongside the Fast Track, a standard track has also been opened, which enables claim submission after verifying identity through the Tax Authority’s digital services. This allows the claimant to track the status of the claim via their personal area, without needing to contact the call center, and to upload additional documents even after the claim has been submitted.
In parallel, the original standard track without identity verification through the digital services will remain available, allowing claim submission using an ID number or passport number.
To file a claim in any of the tracks, and for more information about each one, please visit the Israel Tax Authority website.
