- Israel has introduced a new invoicing model to combat fictitious VAT claims.
- Effective from 1 January 2024, tax invoices require allocation numbers for transactions above certain thresholds.
- Allocation numbers are issued online and are necessary for input VAT deductions.
- Thresholds for allocation numbers are NIS 25,000 in 2024, NIS 20,000 in 2025, NIS 10,000 from 1 January 2026, and NIS 5,000 from 1 June 2026.
- The allocation number is a 9-digit code that must be clearly labelled and displayed on the tax invoice.
- Customers can verify allocation numbers through a secure digital platform.
- The new model aims to improve transparency, streamline tax claims, and reduce fraud in the VAT system.
