How taxes are calculated

Yearly lease

  • The tenant pays arnona, electricity, water and internet.
  • Rent is exempt up to ₪5,654 a month; above that, the exemption shrinks by one shekel per shekel over.
  • Or a flat 10% on gross rent, with no deductions. The simulator picks the better option.
  • No VAT and no Bituah Leumi on these tracks.

Short stays

  • Income counts as business income: all of it is taxable, but costs are deductible.
  • Short-stay arnona is higher in Tel Aviv, about 2.3 times the residential rate per square meter.
  • 18% VAT above ₪120,000 of yearly revenue. The zero rate for foreign tourists is meant for hotels: for an apartment, have your accountant confirm it. The simulator therefore counts VAT on every night.
  • Bituah Leumi for Israeli residents. Owners abroad don’t pay it, but must appoint a representative domiciled in Israel who answers for their VAT obligations (section 60 of the VAT Law).

Indicative estimate based on market assumptions and 2025 tax thresholds: 9% platform fees, VAT on every night above the threshold, ₪800 monthly bills, tax representative estimated at ₪3,000 a year, arnona at ₪62/m²/year residential and ₪143/m²/year short-stay. It does not replace your accountant or a visit to the home.

Pricing questions

What’s the difference between Advanced and Ultimate?

Advanced covers everything that happens in the home. Ultimate adds what is hard to do from abroad: your Israeli taxes with the mandatory representative, paying the bills, transfers in euros, preparing your own stays and representing you on site. If you live in Israel, Advanced is enough.

What is the commission based on?

On net platform revenue: what guests pay, minus Airbnb or Booking fees. Cleaning, paid by guests, is not included in the calculation.

What does the setup fee cover?

Photos, listings in three languages, the property audit, equipment installation and the trial night. On Essential it costs ₪1,200, paid once at signature. On Advanced and Ultimate it is waived if you stay at least 12 months.

What is the equipment subscription for?

It covers the smart key box, the noise sensor and the safety kit: supply, maintenance, batteries and replacement if something fails. It only applies to Essential: ₪1,650 a year, paid ₪137.50 a month and renewed yearly. It stays optional if you already have a compatible lock, with the safety kit then billed once at ₪250. On Advanced and Ultimate, equipment is included.

What if I stop before 12 months?

On Essential, nothing more to pay. On Advanced and Ultimate, the waived setup is due pro rata for the months left: ₪800 if you leave after four months. If the building bans short stays, you leave at no cost, and in every case the equipment is collected.

Why a minimum commission on Ultimate?

Because Ultimate includes services whose cost doesn’t depend on your income: tax representative, linen, monthly inspection. The ₪24,000 yearly minimum changes nothing for an average home; it only applies to small ones.

Can I change plans?

Yes, on each anniversary date, or sooner if your situation changes, for example if you move abroad.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The only other costs are the home’s own, such as arnona, electricity or a repair, and any paid work is approved with you first.

Do prices include VAT?

No. Our prices exclude Israeli VAT, 18%, charged on our commission and fees.

Is the simulator binding?

No. It gives an order of magnitude. After visiting the home, we send you a written estimate, with no commitment.
