The increase is meant to minimize the economic drain on the National Insurance and prevent financial collapse.<\/li>\n<li>Public transportation prices are expected to increase by 2 NIS each way on most platforms.<\/li>\n<li>The Public Sector is planning to implement a wage reduction of up to 2.3% per month, but only for one year. This, according to an agreement between Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Economy Minister, Nir Barkat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11133\" style=\"width: 724px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11133\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/budget-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/budget-2.jpg 724w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/budget-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Economy Minister Barkat and Finance Minister Smotrich | Credit: Yonatan Sindel\/Flash90<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition, a freeze on income tax brackets is expected. Income tax is a progressive tax, meaning that the tax rate increases according to the total income, which is divided into tiers called &#8216;brackets.&#8217; This means that, despite an overall increase in wages due to inflation, the brackets will not be adjusted, resulting in many citizens paying a higher proportion of income tax. Furthermore, there will be a freeze on plans to increase child allowances, which will reduce the income of families with many children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning January 2025, effects of the war will be felt in our pockets, with several tax increases and budget freezes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[2176,2233,2231,2232],"class_list":["post-11121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-politics","tag-bezalel-smotrich","tag-national-insurance","tag-nir-barkat","tag-vat"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
