NOTE 15     –     INCOME TAX

A.     Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (the “Inflationary Adjustment Law”)

         Commencing January 1, 2008, the results of operations of Integrity Israel for tax purposes are measured on a nominal basis.

 

D.     Reduction in Israeli corporate tax rates 

On December 6, 2011, the Law for the Change in the Tax Burden (Legislative Amendments) – 2011 was published.  As part of this law, among other things, commencing from 2012 the corporate tax rate was increased to 25%.  In addition, commencing in 2012, the tax rate on capital gains in real terms and the tax rate applicable to betterment in real terms were increased to 25%.

 

On July 30, 2013, the Israeli parliament approved the Law for the Change in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments to Achieve Budgetary Goals for 2013 and 2014) – 2013 (hereinafter – the “Law for the Change in National Priorities”), which, among other things increased the standard Israeli corporate income tax rate from 25% to 26.5% effective as of January 1, 2014.

 

C.     Tax assessments

 

The Company and Integrity Israel have not received final tax assessments since their inception.
