Income Tax
STL advises individuals, businesses, and investors on all aspects of income taxation to ensure compliance with Israeli tax rules. Our solutions are creative, technically rigorous, and commercially sound. We aim for results that enhance your efficiency and improve your bottom line.
Services
Individual & Corporate Tax Compliance: We advise on annual filings, withholding obligations, and day-to-day compliance with Israeli income tax rules. We often provide second opinions or act as a secondary advisor to help clients navigate complex questions with confidence.
Business Transactions: We design optimal tax structures for mergers, acquisitions, financing, and corporate reorganizations. When required, we obtain advance rulings from the Israel Tax Authority, whether to reduce or eliminate withholding tax obligations or to secure full tax exemptions under Israel’s merger and spin-off regime.
Employment & Compensation: We structure salary, bonuses, and equity-based incentives (§102 and beyond) to optimize employer and employee tax outcomes.
Cross-Border Income & Residency: We advise on income tax issues that relate to Israeli residency, foreign tax credits, treaty relief, and double taxation.
Tax Opinions & Rulings: We prepare clear and defensible legal opinions, and, when necessary, we secure advance rulings from the Israel Tax Authority.
Audits & Disputes: We provide representation in income tax audits, assessments, objections, and litigation. We accompany clients through every stage of the process: initial inquiries and information requests, negotiations with the Israel Tax Authority, and appeals before the administrative and judicial courts. We aim for efficient, durable resolutions and a strong, well-defended position.
