Foreign tourists visiting Israel may soon become subject of the requirement to pay the value-added tax (VAT), as the country is planning to end the exemption that applied to international visitors.
According to the national economic plan issued by the finance ministry, foreigners visiting Israel currently don’t have to pay the 17 per cent VAT on services related to tourism, including hotel accommodation and services, transportation, hospitalization, and car rental among other services, VisaGuide.World reports.
