General Information about Annual Fees
All Israeli non-profit organizations are required to pay annual fees starting the year that follows their amuta registration. The annual fees must be paid in a postal bank or online. In the event that the Israeli non-profit organization pays its annual fee in a postal bank, it must provide the form stamped by the postal bank, which is included in the forms that the Israeli non-profit organization receives on a yearly basis.
Exemption from Annual Fees
An Israeli non-profit organization may be exempt from its annual fee if two Executive Board members declare the following conditions in the presence of a lawyer:
1) The turnover for the year is equal to or less than 300,000 NIS.
2) The Israeli non-profit organization is not involved in making any payments for work or services to an employee or subcontractor (except in cases where money was paid to someone to fulfill legal regulations on behalf of the Israeli non-profit organization).
Failure to Pay Annual Fees
If the Israeli non-profit organization fails to pay its annual fees, it will not receive a certificate of proper management. Additionally, if the Israeli non-profit organization does not submit the affidavit for exemption at the postal bank indicating that its financial activity is less than 300,000 NIS (if necessary), it will also fail to receive a certificate of proper management. Furthermore, a failure to pay necessary fees may result in the Registrar of Amutot taking action against the Israeli non-profit organization.
