Understanding Contractor Invoices in Hebrew
Contractor invoices in Hebrew require specific elements to comply with Israeli regulations. Essential components include the contractor's and client's tax IDs, a detailed service description, and the total amount in both numbers and words. Additionally, invoices must feature a unique electronic invoice number and an Israel Tax Authority (ITA)-assigned allocation number for any business-to-business (B2B) invoice exceeding the set thresholds. As of May 2024, this threshold began at 25,000 NIS and will gradually reduce to 5,000 NIS by June 2026.
In Israel, the standard Value Added Tax (VAT) rate is 17%, which needs to be included on invoices for compliance. This transition to mandatory e-invoicing aims to enhance tax compliance and streamline financial processes. With Harvest, contractors can easily add VAT details to ensure their invoices meet these legal requirements. Furthermore, Harvest's invoicing system allows for the inclusion of project references and building permit numbers, aiding in maintaining comprehensive project documentation.
