SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating accurate Israeli bookkeeping entries requires knowing the standard chart of accounts (matkonet heshbonot), tiered Bituach Leumi and health tax rates, VAT rules, and statutory payroll components. This Skill generates balanced double-entry journal entries (pkudat yoman) that follow Israeli accounting conventions, eliminating manual calculation errors and missing statutory lines. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Payroll Entries: Calculates salary journal entries with tiered Bituach Leumi and health insurance rates, pension (6%/6.5%), severance (8.33%), and keren hishtalmut (2.5%/7.5%) for both employee deductions and employer costs. - VAT Handling: Produces sales, purchase, and bi-monthly VAT clearing entries at the 18% rate, with input-VAT deductibility rules by expense class and SHAAM allocation-number thresholds for B2B invoices. - Asset Depreciation: Applies Israeli Tax Authority straight-line depreciation rates (computers 33%, vehicles 15%, furniture 6%) with monthly calculation. - Use Case: Ask for a January 2026 payroll entry for an employee earning 15,000 ILS gross and receive a fully balanced pkudat yoman with net pay, all statutory liabilities, and employer costs separated. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a journal entry for a specific Israeli transaction, for example a monthly salary payment or a sales invoice with VAT, and it will return a balanced double-entry pkudat yoman.

Frequently Asked Questions about israeli-bookkeeping-automation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an Israeli payroll journal entry with all statutory deductions?

Provide the gross salary and period, and the entry is built with tiered Bituach Leumi (1.04%/7.00% employee, 4.51%/7.60% employer), health tax (3.23%/5.17%), pension (6%/6.5%), severance (8.33%), and keren hishtalmut (2.5%/7.5%). The 2026 tier threshold is 7,703 ILS per month.

How are Bituach Leumi and health tax calculated on Israeli salaries?

They use tiered rates, not flat rates. The reduced rate applies only to salary up to 7,703 ILS (2026), and the full rate applies to the portion above it, up to the maximum insurable income of 51,910 ILS. Applying a flat rate to the whole salary produces incorrect amounts.

What is the difference between Osek Murshe and Osek Patur bookkeeping?

Osek Murshe uses double-entry bookkeeping, charges 18% VAT, and reclaims input VAT. Osek Patur uses single-entry bookkeeping, does not charge VAT, and records purchases at the full VAT-inclusive amount since VAT is not recoverable.

Which input VAT expenses are deductible in Israel?

Standard business goods and services are 100% deductible with a valid tax invoice. Passenger-car purchases are 0% deductible, car operating costs are two-thirds deductible, and hospitality in Israel is non-deductible. Workplace light refreshments allow up to 80% per ITA practice.

Why does my journal entry not balance?

Debits must equal credits; imbalance usually means VAT was omitted on one side or employer payroll costs were debited without matching liability credits. Check that net pay plus all liability accounts equal salary expense plus employer costs.

When should this Skill not be used?

Do not use it for tax filing submissions, annual financial statement audits, or as a replacement for a certified public accountant (roeh heshbon). It generates bookkeeping entries only and does not file reports with the Tax Authority.
