The Israeli Tax Advisers Association

Professional activity

The Chamber makes available to tax consultants all professional tools required for coping with the many problems in their field of activity. The Chamber's range of activities in the field of instruction and professional training and expansion of fields of occupation center its activities.

Most tax consultants are currently members of the Chamber, and many more enroll each month. This is owing to the range of professional services that the Chamber grants its members that its individual members cannot cope with alone. This comes in addition to the backing and protection of interests that members are given by the Chamber.

The Chamber's professional activity is conducted on an ongoing basis throughout the year, with extensive participation on the part of members, which includes the organization of the following:

Conducting central professional conventions, twice a year, participated by the key players of the tax authorities and the economy.
Holding study days, seminars and courses in well-defined and segmented fields, participated by leading lecturers in the field. The activity is held on the national plane and in the Chamber's branches throughout the country.
Producing a monthly professional bulletin – “Accountancy and Taxes” – disseminated to tax consultants and many addressees, including: Knesset members, Government members, senior tax officials, decision makers, etc.
Gathering all relevant professional information in the Chamber's annual log.
An outside professional team: The Chamber makes available to its members a team of outside consultants, providing such services as legal advice, work relation advice, etc., which grant members ad hoc advice by receiving personal applications, for solving ongoing problems raised during routine work.
The diverse activity in the professional field is conducted through the Chamber's national council, the Chamber's management, local branches and internal committees, including: a professional committee, organization committee, welfare committee, committee of relations with income tax, value added tax and national insurance – for discussing various major problems that arise.

Through this activity, the Chamber has reached many significant achievements for the benefit of its members, while reinforcing its professional relations with the tax departments.

As the Chamber is a public fellowship society, each member is granted the ability to act in various contexts to affect the decision making processes of the management and the professional committees, at the national level and within the branches.

A number of professional committees operate within the Chamber, handling current issues. Alongside these, the Chamber runs 13 district branches for handling local problems and raising major issues to the presidency.
