Big changes are here for investors in Israeli tech companies! The Israeli Tax Authority has unveiled new guidelines for SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) investments.

These guidelines will apply to the taxation of investments through SAFE in Israeli technology companies for the years 2025-2026.

This information is pertinent for both companies and investors, especially given that SAFE has become a common and accepted financial instrument. These updates bring clarity and important benefits for both investors and high-tech companies.

While the topic was examined in the Jerusalem Post, Lipa Meir & Co. are among those law firms in Israel who have issued a client update.
