Benefits for repatriates in Form 101

Why is Form 101 especially important for repatriates?

New repatriates often receive tax benefits in the early years. If the status is not reflected in Tofes 101, the employer can withhold tax as if it were a regular employee.

The result is a reduced “hands-on” salary and the need to deal with the return later.

What you typically need to include

Date of repatriation/new repatriate status (according to rules relevant to your year), marital status, children and other applicable benefits.

The exact fields and wording will depend on the official form and your situation - if in doubt, check with an accountant or tax advisor.

When to update 101

At the first employment in Israel, a change of job, the birth of a child, a change in marital status and at the beginning of the tax year.

Don't wait until the end of the year: the sooner the card is valid, the less unnecessary deductions will accumulate.

Tax Refund Connection

If benefits are not taken into account on time, part of the overpayment is sometimes returned through the annual report. But it’s easier to immediately fill out 101 correctly.
