VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE – גילוי מרצון

Do you have foreign income or assets that have not yet been declared to the Israeli tax authorities?
We support you in the voluntary disclosure process with the Israeli Tax Authority.
Important:
The opportunity to file a voluntary disclosure depends on a specific circular issued by the Tax Authority. This procedure is not permanently available, so it’s crucial to act within the permitted time frame.

Benefits of Voluntary Disclosure:

• Option to start the process anonymously in a secure framework
• Protection from criminal prosecution (subject to good faith)
• Full regularization of past tax situations
• Legal and tax security for foreign-held income and assets

LEGAL OPINION & PRE-RULING

In complex or high-stakes situations, Assuline & Co. helps you secure your tax position in advance using two key tools:

Legal opinion

Based on a technical analysis of the tax law applicable to your case, our experts issue a detailed legal opinion to demonstrate the compliance of a transaction or structure with Israeli tax law.
This initiative is undertaken by the taxpayer and does not involve the tax authority, but it serves to justify your position in the event of a future audit.
Objectives:
• Secure a tax structure before implementation (e.g., to reassure a bank, investor, or partner)
• Prevent future disputes or reassessments
• Provide legal arguments to support your position in case of future debate
• Offer criminal liability protection

Pre-Ruling (Advance Tax Ruling)

A formal request submitted to the Israeli tax authority, in which the taxpayer outlines a planned transaction or structure and requests an official position.
The authority responds in writing and is bound by its decision, provided the facts presented are complete and accurate.
Advantages:
• Clear definition of the tax treatment in advance
• Reduced uncertainty and risk
• Legal certainty approved by the authorities

To sum up :

We help you determine whether a legal opinion or a pre-ruling is the most suitable approach and handle the entire process from drafting and assembling the file to managing communications with the tax authorities.
