Relocation and Terminating Israeli Tax Residency: The Complete Guide for Israelis Moving Abroad (2026)
For income-tax purposes, Israeli residency is primarily determined under the center-of-life test, taking into account family, economic and social ties together with statutory day-count presumptions. Ceasing Israeli tax residency may raise issues under Section 100A of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, commonly referred to as the exit-tax provision, as well as separate questions regarding stock options, RSUs and equity awards granted under Section 102 or other arrangements. The tax treatment and allocation between Israel and the destination country may depend on the type of award, grant date, vesting periods, periods of employment in and outside Israel, realization or sale dates, and the applicable tax treaty. A single linear allocation methodology should not be assumed to apply to every option or RSU arrangement. Where significant equity compensation exists, a case-specific review is required.
