The rule
Residence follows your centre of life. Either day presumption shifts the burden of proof but can be rebutted by you or the Tax Authority. Proposed reforms were not enacted when this rule was reviewed.
Counting the days
This year's recorded Israeli dates, and the total for this and the two previous tax years. Arrival and departure dates count.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples

Common misconceptions

“Unrecorded days are included in the total.”
The calculator uses only the dates you enter. Missing history can make the result incomplete.
