The changes include raising taxes on employee share options, while reducing income tax. The team is being led by Tax Authority director Shay Aharonovich, budget commissioner Maharan Frozenfar and Ministry of Finance chief economist Dr. Shmuel Abramzon. On the other hand, measures imposed on the public in recent years and since the outbreak of the war have been severe including freezing income tax brackets and raising national insurance contributions. Tax chief Aharonovich has said that the Tax Authority plans to examine increasing the tax on stock options that tech employees receive as additional payment on top of their salaries. Experts explained to "Globes" that according to the Income Tax Ordinance, to enjoy the tax benefit, shares must be held by a trustee for 24 months from the date of allocation.
