Israel introduced a phased, real-time e-invoicing control regime under the Economic Efficiency Law (2023) as part of a broader tax modernisation and VAT-fraud prevention programme. The system is built around a centralised pre-clearance “allocation number” mechanism: for in-scope B2B invoices above a rolling threshold, suppliers must request and obtain a unique allocation number from the Israel Tax Authority (ITA) before the invoice can be considered valid for VAT purposes. The allocation process can be done via accredited accounting software/API integration or via an online ITA portal for manual users. The threshold reduces in phases through 2026, progressively expanding coverage of domestic B2B activity.

Do I need to have a permanent establishment in Israel to be required to e-Invoice?
Not strictly. The trigger is tax liability / VAT registration and issuing domestic B2B invoices over the threshold, not physical presence alone.
 
Local suppliers (Israel VAT-registered): In scope for domestic B2B invoices above the threshold.
 
Foreign suppliers with Israeli VAT registration (e.g., via fiscal rep / local structure): In scope for domestic B2B invoices above the threshold.
 
Foreign suppliers with no Israeli VAT presence / foreign invoices: Not in scope (currently).
B2B (Domestic): Yes – applies to VAT-registered (“authorized dealers”) issuing domestic B2B tax invoices above the threshold (where the buyer deducts input VAT).
 
B2G / B2C / Cross-border: Not in scope (currently), so VAT registration does not trigger this mandate for those transaction types at present.

Real-time / pre-issuance. The allocation number must be obtained from ITA before the invoice is considered valid.

Yes. Key consequence: invoices issued without a valid allocation number (when required) may be treated as non-compliant, and the buyer may be denied input VAT deduction. The ITA may also apply administrative enforcement (fines/penalties), and allocation requests may be refused if a transaction is suspected to be fictitious, triggering a correction/appeal process.

Steps VAT IT can assist with

1. Confirm whether invoices fall within scope (domestic B2B) and exceed the current threshold.
2. Ensure VAT dealer status and required identifiers are in place (supplier + customer VAT numbers for clearance request).
3. Choose submission method: accredited software/API integration or ITA’s manual online application.
4. Configure invoice data to include required fields and submit the allocation-number request to ITA in real time.
5. Receive the ITA allocation number and embed it into the final invoice before sending to the buyer.
6. Implement compliant e-archiving (minimum 7 years) preserving invoice integrity and accessibility (can be stored abroad).
