Start Up – Arnona Down
22 February 2023
Dear Clients,
As one of our clients, we would be pleased to advise you and review your annual Arnona invoice, in order to explore opportunities of reducing them according to applicable law. Such a review can, in certain cases, significantly decrease the amount of the invoice.
For example, according to the Arnona order issued by the Tel-Aviv municipality for 2023, while the Arnona residual tariff for “properties not for residential purpose” is NIS 409.37 per square meter (at area 1), the tariff for a “software house” is only NIS 178.85 per square meter, a difference of approximately NIS 230 per square meter. Accordingly, the classification change for Arnona with regard to software companies, which may be relevant in your case, can give rise to potentially significant savings in each year.
It should be noted that the time frame for appealing the Arnona invoices is limited by law (90 days commencing from the date on which the invoice was received).
