Changelog
Clarified import VAT: imported goods (on a rashimon) use the weekly customs rate (representative rate + 0.5%), but imported services (reverse-charge) use the plain representative rate with no 0.5% addition. All Bank of Israel endpoints re-verified live.

v2.0.0: migrated from the broken Bank of Israel XML feed to the official JSON endpoint for current rates and the SDMX series for historical (tax-date) rates. Corrected the currency count (14, not 30+) and publish schedule, added the transaction-date tax rule and import-VAT customs-rate caveat, and made the helper script fail loud instead of substituting sample rates.
