Israeli Expense Categorizer
Verified95/100AI-powered categorization of business expenses into Israeli tax-deductible categories based on current Israeli Tax Ordinance rules. Applies the correct deduction mechanics (vehicle = the higher of running-costs-minus-use-value or 45%, mobile phone with the ~50% disallowance floor, home office and internet proportional), maps to a common Israeli chart of accounts, and handles Osek Patur vs Osek Murshe differences for VAT eligibility (private-car VAT not deductible, running-cost VAT two-thirds). Use when you need to classify business expenses for Israeli tax reporting, prepare expense reports for your accountant, or verify deduction eligibility. Do NOT use for final tax filing, legal tax advice, or payroll-related expense processing.

Categorizing business expenses into correct tax categories requires deep knowledge of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. Miscategorization can lead to overpaying taxes or correction demands from the Tax Authority. Freelancers and small businesses lose thousands of shekels annually due to unclaimed deductions.
