Our Municipal Taxation Practice provides counsel with respect to development fees, municipal taxes [arnona], betterment surcharges, construction fees and other mandatory municipal payments. The practice is led by Adv. Sharon Petel, a partner at our office, with more than 16 years of experience in all real estate matters, with a particular emphasis on the field of municipal taxation.
The practice advises local authorities, as well as to some of the largest taxpayers in the Israeli economy, including: owners of real estate assets, hi-tech companies, telecommunication companies, start-ups, banks, manufacturing companies, government-owned companies, infrastructure companies, multi-national companies holding assets in Israel, non-profit organizations, etc. In addition, our firm also advises contractors and entrepreneurs on strategies devised to reduce development and betterment fees imposed on them.
