(3) The person had a capital loss in the sale of a property outside of Israel, and that if he had a profit he would have committed to tax in Israel, the provisions of paragraph (1) would apply to him, but a capital loss from an asset would be offset first against capital gains outside Israel;

Section 1

"Linkage differences" – any amount added to the debt or claim amount – due to a linkage to the currency rate, the Consumer Price Index or another index, including rate differences,but the tax-free interest will be seen as a linkage difference any amount added to the debt or claim amount due to linkage to the currency rate or CPI, including rate differences;

Previously, goal differences are also snap differences to the command, according to their inclusion in the definition of snap differences in the sifa of the definition. ( Ostensibly, the need for the term rate difference is unclear in light of the fact that by definition, linkage differences also include linkage to a currency rate. Linkage differences added to debt or claim amount that must be repaid in shekels are income from linkage differences even if the linkage is to foreign currency. On the other hand, the linkage differences added to a deposit in foreign currency or a lender fund that must be returned in foreign currency are income from rate differentials.

Linkage difference exemption 9(13)(13) linkage differences received by an individual due to an asset, provided that all of these existed:

(1) The snap differences are not partial snap differences; In this matter, "partial linkage differences" – as determined by the Minister of Finance with the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee;

(2) The individual did not claim a deduction of interest expense or linkage differences due to the asset;

(3) The linkage differences are not income under Section 2(1) and are not listed in the accounts of his accounts or are receivable in such registration;

As long as no exemption or reduced tax provision is established, the tax rate on rate differences by an individual or company is taxable according to the usual tax rates specified in Section 121 and Section 126 of the Ordinance, as the case may be. In light of the definition of the rate difference, the definition of linkage differences and the definition of partial linkage differences, section (13) 9 as it applies to linkage differences, and section 125 c will apply regarding the tax rates on rate differences when they are defined as interest (partial linkage differences). ( Exemption for a foreign resident for rate differences Section ) 15 ( 9 of the ordinance establishes a tax exemption for: Rate differences on a loan given by a foreign resident except for a loan given by his permanent enterprise in Israel. Since a foreign resident provides his steps according to his country's currency rate and not at the shekel rate, the legislature grants him a tax exemption on the differences in the loan he gave. The condition for the exemption is that the loan was not given by a permanent institution ( or branch ) that a foreign resident in Israel has. The goal faced by the legislature in its determination is to put funds from abroad into Israel.
