Success Story: Navigating Tax Benefits and Legal Challenges During COVID-19


We take pride in delivering exceptional results for our clients navigating property transactions in Israel. Here’s a compelling example of how אליעזר רודין עו”ד’s expertise and strategic approach made a significant impact:

The Challenge

Following their property purchase in Israel, a family relocating from the UK faced an unexpected setback. Despite qualifying for significant tax benefits offered to immigrants, they received notice from Israeli tax authorities shortly after returning to the UK to finalise their relocation. Due to their immediate departure post-purchase, they risked losing the tax benefit and faced a substantial additional stamp duty charge.

אליעזר רודין עו”ד’s Strategic Approach

In the midst of COVID-19, which complicated governmental operations, אליעזר רודין עו”ד acted swiftly and decisively. Understanding the nuances of Israeli bureaucracy and the importance of personal connections, he leveraged his deep understanding of the Israeli mentality. This insight enabled him to navigate through pandemic-related challenges and successfully escalate the issue to the appropriate decision-maker within the tax office.

Navigating Bureaucratic Challenges

One of the most daunting challenges our clients faced was the sudden freezing of their bank accounts by Israeli tax authorities, shortly after their property purchase. In Israel, bureaucratic power can be wielded swiftly and sometimes without regard for the consequences to individuals. This episode underscores why having a lawyer born and trained in Israel, who intimately understands the complexities and nuances of Israeli bureaucracy, is essential. אליעזר רודין עו”ד's swift action and deep understanding of Israeli mentality allowed him to identify the appropriate decision-maker and promptly unfreeze our clients' accounts, ensuring they could proceed with their plans without undue delay or financial hardship.

The Outcome

Thanks to אליעזר רודין עו”ד’s proactive advocacy, he identified the appropriate decision-maker who promptly unfroze both the husband and wife’s bank accounts. This critical intervention allowed the family to access their funds and proceed with their relocation plans without further disruption.
