E-Invoicing in Israel

Israel is on the Road to E‑invoicing

Israel's plans for implementing an e-invoicing system position the country within a rapidly expanding group of countries modernizing their tax compliance through next-generation solutions. Recent announcements from the Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) outlined a system planned to include both a B2B e-invoicing solution and a real-time CTC reporting model.

According to the latest documentation, an emergency invoice validation feature is planned in the event of a failure to assign an allocation number through the standard process. The solution will be to issue pools of “emergency allocation numbers” for interested taxpayers to be used during such disruptions. Any use of these numbers must be reported to the Authority once the emergency subsides.

Archiving requirements

Invoices must be stored for 7 years from the invoice date.

Process description

Every invoice in the scope of the mandate will have to be assigned an allocation number before issuing it to a buyer. This will be possible either by uploading it to a public web portal or transferring it to the ITA via a dedicated API. Once it is validated by the authority, the numbered invoice will be returned to the issuer, who remains responsible for forwarding it to the buyer.

According to these updated technical specifications, taxpayers are required to implement the new guidelines by January 1, 2025.

The most important changes in the new version of the specifications include:

New JSON File Lines: The JSON file used for clearing tax invoices has been updated with additional lines and revised validations for certain data fields.
Updated and New Web Services: The ITA has introduced new web services for cases where an Allocation Number is not provided during the clearance process. Four different methods will be available to handle such situations.
New Document Types: Two new document types now require an Allocation Number:
- Agent Tax Invoice (חשבונית מס סוכן)
- Journal Command (פקודת יומן)

Additionally, the pilot period will end on January 1, 2025, after which the ITA will begin enforcing technical validations on all submitted JSON files.
