Use when you need to create accurate bookkeeping entries using an illustrative Israeli account-numbering convention that you map onto the business's own kartesset and its Form 6111 codes. Supports both Osek Murshe (authorized dealer) double-entry and Osek Patur (exempt dealer) single-entry bookkeeping. Handles salary payments with income tax, bituach leumi, health insurance, pension, keren hishtalmut, and convalescence pay. Do NOT use for tax filing submissions, annual financial statement audits, or replacing a certified public accountant (roeh heshbon).

Recording double-entry journal entries for Israeli transactions requires deep understanding of the Israeli accounting system. Payroll entries alone include dozens of statutory components (income tax, national insurance, health tax, pension, education fund), each with tiered rates that change annually. Applying the wrong rate or using a flat rate instead of tiered calculation can produce incorrect deduction amounts and unbalanced entries.

Changelog
Fixed three posting errors. The depreciation formula was reducing-balance while the text and the worked example both said straight-line. Payroll credited net pay straight to Bank on the accrual date even though Israeli salary is paid the following month, so a salary-payable account and a separate payment entry were added. Blocked input VAT on a passenger car must be capitalized into the asset rather than expensed. Input VAT on light refreshments was 2/3, which is actually the vehicle-upkeep fraction; routine refreshments at the place of business are deductible in full, while regulation 15A blocks benefits to employees. Also added VAT cash-basis timing, the buyer-side allocation-number rule, the 2026 minimum wage, and reframed the chart of accounts as a convention rather than a national standard. All 2026 rates were re-verified and are unchanged.
Jul 26, 2026
Bituach Leumi and health rates are now enumerated by employee category (minor, working pensioner, disability-pension recipient) instead of a single row; fixed machinery depreciation to 7%, kibud input-VAT to 2/3, framed income tax as an input, and restored missing Hebrew sections.
Jun 16, 2026
Reframe the SHAAM allocation timeline so the June 1, 2026 step-down to 5,000 NIS reads as imminent (not future), and clarify that the threshold goes by the invoice issue date, not the journal-entry date.

Author: skills-ilExplains how a payslip in Israel's public-healthcare system is actually built, which is nothing like private-sector pay. The salary is set by collective agreements and by wage grade (dirug): nurses, three separate allied-health grades (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and the para-medical grade for dietitians and speech clinicians), pharmacists in the academic grade, and doctors under the IMA agreement. The skill identifies the right grade, reads the combined salary by rank and seniority, adds healthcare-specific supplements like the nurses' tosefet achayot, the banded allied-health training supplement, and doctors' on-call and duty pay valued in workdays, and shows how gross becomes net. Useful for nurses, allied-health workers, doctors, hospital payroll staff, and anyone reading a healthcare payslip. Do NOT use for standard private-sector payroll, teachers' pay, or employing a home caregiver.
Author: skills-ilAI-powered categorization of business expenses into Israeli tax-deductible categories based on current Israeli Tax Ordinance rules. Applies the correct deduction mechanics (vehicle = the higher of running-costs-minus-use-value or 45%, mobile phone with the ~50% disallowance floor, home office and internet proportional), maps to a common Israeli chart of accounts, and handles Osek Patur vs Osek Murshe differences for VAT eligibility (private-car VAT not deductible, running-cost VAT two-thirds). Use when you need to classify business expenses for Israeli tax reporting, prepare expense reports for your accountant, or verify deduction eligibility. Do NOT use for final tax filing, legal tax advice, or payroll-related expense processing.
Author: skills-ilExplains how an Israeli teacher's salary is actually built, which is nothing like private-sector pay. Teacher pay is set by one of two reforms: Ofek Chadash (kindergartens, elementary, and junior-high) or Oz LaTmura (upper-secondary only), and each has its own work-week structure, rank-and-seniority table, and increments (gmulim). The skill identifies the right reform, reads the split between front-of-class hours and private and stay hours, adds gmulim like gmul hishtalmut and gmul chinuch, and shows how gross becomes net. It also covers the split appointment, where a teacher teaches in both a junior-high and a high school and earns under both reforms at once (each part by its position fraction), plus salary unification versus tax coordination. Useful for teachers, kindergarten teachers, school payroll staff, and anyone reading a teacher's payslip. Do NOT use for standard private-sector payroll, bookkeeping entries, or Bagrut and school-system navigation.
