Before You BeginA Brief Introduction to Our Firm
A short introduction to our process: how the initial review begins, what we need to understand and what happens after your first inquiry.
In agricultural taxation holding, each component of the transaction takes on meaning
In an agricultural holding, whether it's a farm or a kibbutz, it's impossible to separate the land, the family, the cooperative, and the Israel Land Authority (ILA).
Start with facts and documents, define what needs to be achieved, and only then choose the legal move. This way you can identify early what might delay the move and what can be resolved in advance.
Taxation agricultural holding can completely change the feasibility of a transaction. Without prior planning, either a sale or transfer that seems correct may lead to a high charge or a problematic transaction structure.
What the service includes
- Land Appreciation Tax, Purchase Tax and Related Charges.
- Examining tax consequences in selling, gifting, inheritance or splitting.
- advising on the construction of a more economically correct move.
- Coordination between the taxation aspect and Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the legal structure of the right.
In what situations is it correct to turn
- Before selling agricultural holding or purchasing it.
- When considering an intergenerational transfer or gift.
- When you want to understand the real cost of the move.
An agricultural taxation lawyer and an agricultural farm typically requires a combination of a rights check, documents, agreements, Israel Land Authority (ILA), cooperative association and proper economic consideration.

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏

I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.

Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!
