Israeli Employee Tax Refund
Verified96/100Guide salaried Israeli employees through the voluntary tax-refund process with Reshut HaMisim. Reads Form 106, detects refund triggers (mid-year job change, unemployment, maternity leave, military reserve duty, Section 46 donations, yishuv mezakeh, undeclared credit points, disability, alimony, early keren hishtalmut withdrawal), estimates the refund using 2026 brackets and the 242 ₪/month credit-point value, generates a per-trigger document checklist, and fills Form 135 or routes the user to the online refund portal. Knows the 6-year retroactive window (Section 160 ITO). Use when a salaried employee asks about Israeli tax refund, החזר מס לשכירים, Form 135, missed credit points, miluim refund, or refunds for previous tax years. Do NOT use for self-employed Form 1301 filers (use israeli-tax-returns), payroll math (use israeli-payroll-calculator), stock options (use israeli-stock-options-tax), crypto (use israeli-crypto-tax-reporter), or VAT (use israeli-vat-reporting).

Hundreds of thousands of salaried Israelis overpay income tax every year and never claim the refund. Mid-year job changes, unemployment, maternity leave, reserve duty, donations, residence in a yishuv mezakeh, and missed credit points all create a gap between what was withheld and what was actually owed. This skill detects refund triggers from Form 106, estimates the refund using 2026 brackets and the 242 ₪ credit-point value, generates a per-trigger document checklist, and produces a filled Form 135 or guides the user through the online refund portal.
