Israeli freelancers face a daily jungle of operational tasks: tax authority reports, invoice generation, client management, pension contributions, and National Insurance payments. Each of these is managed in a different system, and without something to coordinate it all, things fall through the cracks. Most global tools do not understand the complexity of freelancing in Israel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Changelog
The invoice allocation-number threshold dropped to 5,000 NIS before VAT on 1 June 2026, but the skill still showed 10,000 as current in six places including the osek murshe conversion checklist. Without the number the client loses the input-VAT deduction. Also completed the osek patur ceiling-crossing rules: the notification duty is triggered by the projection rather than by receiving the money, and input VAT from the exempt period is permanently lost. Added the duty to revise the Bituach Leumi income estimate and income-tax advances.
Jul 25, 2026
CY2026 fixes: corrected the esek za'ir governing section to 87ב, updated the self-employed Bituach Leumi advance brackets (265/8,550/3,442 per circular 1502), and corrected the income-tax mkdamot deadline (15th standard, 19th for online payment).
Jun 16, 2026
Fixed annual income-tax report deadline (May 31 paper / June 30 online, not April 30), corrected bi-monthly mkdamot due date to the 19th, added Reference Links section, mandatory self-employed pension contribution, 2026 Section 45א/47 figures, and esek za'ir eligibility caveats.

Author: skills-ilOrchestrate Israeli payment gateways (Cardcom, Tranzila, PayMe, Meshulam, iCredit, Pelecard) with unified routing, fallback, and installments (tashlumim). Use when user asks about multi-gateway payment integration, "slikat kartisim", "tashlumim", payment routing, Shva network, BOI payment-services regulation, gateway comparison, or building a payment abstraction layer for Israeli merchants. Provides unified API patterns, installment handling, Shva clearing rules, and regulatory compliance. Do NOT use for single gateway setup (use cardcom-payment-gateway or tranzila-payment-gateway instead).
Author: skills-ilHelps you cut recurring bank and credit-card fees. Use it when you pay per action instead of being on a cheaper fixed-price fee track, when you want to cancel a barely-used credit card, stop a recurring charge or debit authorization, or negotiate a specific commission down. The skill prepares a ready-to-send Hebrew cancellation letter, a rights-grounded negotiation script, and a short summary of your rights, based on Bank of Israel fee rules and Israeli banking law. Why it matters: many Israelis overpay hundreds of shekels a year because they do not know there is a supervised basic track, a right to cancel at any time, and discounts for seniors, people with disabilities, and small businesses. Not for maximizing cashback or deals, coupon hunting, analyzing bank transactions, or household budgeting.
Author: skills-ilIntegrate Grow by Meshulam payment gateway into Israeli applications -- covers payment pages (iframe/redirect/SDK), tokenization, recurring billing, payment links, refunds, invoices, webhooks, and 3DS authentication via the Grow Light API. Use when user asks to accept payments via Grow or Meshulam, set up "slikat ashrai" with Grow, create payment links (drishat tashlum), handle recurring charges (hora'ot keva) via Grow tokens, process refunds or Bit cancellations, integrate Grow webhooks, or mentions "Grow", "Meshulam", "grow-il", "meshulam.co.il", Grow payment page, or Grow API. Prevents costly integration mistakes by guiding correct FormData request format, server-side-only restrictions, and the mandatory approveTransaction step that many developers miss. Do NOT use for Cardcom integration (use cardcom-payment-gateway), Tranzila integration (use tranzila-payment-gateway), general payment orchestration across multiple gateways (use israeli-payment-orchestrator), or non-payment queries.
