Dealers whose transaction turnover in the base year (2025) is from 12 thousand NIS up to 400 million NIS, and who meet the following conditions:

  • The business was opened by 27.2.2026
  • The business experienced a decrease of at least 25% in transaction turnover during March-April 2026, compared to the base period (March-April 2025)
  • The decrease resulted solely from Operation "Roaring Lion"
  • For businesses opened after 1.1.2025, the base year will be calculated as follows: the total transactions from the date the business was opened or from 1.7.2025 (whichever is later), divided by the number of months of activity, multiplied by 12.
  • For businesses opened after 1.1.2025, the base period will be calculated as follows: the total transactions from the date the business was opened or from 1.7.2025 (whichever is later), divided by the number of months of activity, multiplied by 2.

  • The claim form for the March-April 2026 eligibility period must be completed online on the Israel Tax Authority website.

In such cases, the required documents must be attached already at the time of filing the claim – all as detailed in the implementation instructions.
  • A claim will be considered a complete claim only after submission of all documents that business owners were required to attach, as determined in the implementation instructions.
The Israel Tax Authority reserves the right to request additional documents, where appropriate, for the purpose of examining compliance with the eligibility conditions and payment of compensation.
