Finance Ministry devising plan to lure billionaire Jews to Israel
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Israel, Sheldon Adelson 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for March 25, 2008.

he plan offers:
  • A full tax exemption on all sources of income for ten years.

  • Exemption from any obligation to report to the Tax Authority.

  • An extension on those exemptions should the new resident choose to invest in Israel's periphery.
