ITA

The Israel Tax Authority (Hebrew: רשות המסים בישראל), known by acronym ITA, operates as the principal Israeli government tax administration entity. Established in 2004 through the consolidation of the prior income-tax, VAT, and customs administration entities, the ITA operates under the Israel Ministry of Finance.

The ITA administers all major Israeli national taxes:

— Income tax (corporate and personal, under the Israel Income Tax Ordinance) — VAT (under the Value Added Tax Law, 1975) — Mas Rechisha (purchase tax, under the Land Taxation Law, 1963) — Capital gains tax — Estate and gift tax (Israel does not impose general estate or inheritance tax, though specific transactions can trigger taxable events) — Customs (under the Customs Ordinance)

The ITA administers the 2026 aliyah tax reform package alongside the worldwide disclosure regime from January 1, 2026. Olim and returning residents interact with the ITA through formal registration, the annual tax-return cycle, the worldwide disclosure cycle, and adjacent administrative interfaces.

The ITA's administrative position — particularly post-2026 worldwide disclosure regime — operates as a structural variable in UHNW cross-border family-office planning covered across The Olam's Aliyah, Capital, and Family Office Migration clusters.
