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.

A new Finance Ministry plan will instate major tax benefits to lure to Israel the world's richest Jews and Israelis who have left the country.

But unlike campaigns to bring Jews of lesser means to Israel, this plan won't be playing on sentiment.

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.
