VAT
How VAT works in Palestine
Palestine charges a 16% VAT, with exports zero-rated and most agricultural produce exempt or zero-rated. The shekel is the base currency, but many businesses also work in dinars and dollars — bookeeper handles all three.
Standard rate

Registration
VAT is administered jointly with income tax by the tax department; input VAT is fully creditable.
Filing
Periodic (commonly monthly) VAT returns are the norm.
E-invoicing
No mandate yetNo national mandate yet
Palestine has no e-invoicing mandate — VAT invoices may be paper or electronic. bookeeper keeps orderly bilingual digital invoices and is ready if a national system is introduced.

Private-sector social security (currently suspended)
Payroll & social security
Salaries face a progressive income tax (5%/10%/15%). Mandatory private-sector social security was frozen in 2019 and is not collected today, so bookeeper leaves it as an optional, disabled module.
Rules that matter
- Income tax brackets: 5% up to ILS 75,000, 10% to 150,000, 15% above, with a personal exemption.
- Private-sector social security has been suspended since 2019 — not applied by default.
- The proposed split was around 7.7% employee / 10.4% employer — kept ready if it is reinstated.
