Our office is among the leading offices in the field of taxation and provides its clients with tax consulting and accompaniment from a preliminary stage – planning the transaction, including the provision of opinions, handling preliminary applications, including representation vis-à-vis the land taxation authorities, and including in assessment hearing vis-à-vis the tax authorities, arrangements, objections, tax appeals and representation at legal instances.

In addition, we serve as legal counsel to land owners in several evacuation-construction and NOP 38/2 projects in the Tel Aviv and Center area.

 

After years of experience and dealing in the world of taxation and real estate, we understand that there is a great lack of knowledge. Parties to a transaction do not conduct themselves properly in all that pertains to the securities required in a transaction, and certainly in all that pertains to the tax planning applicable due to the purchase or sale of the property/land, and for this reason, lose a lot of money which they could have saved or, alternatively, invested more correctly.
