Israel - Will benefits for green cars spark a revolution?

The final conclusions of the committee reviewing the issue of environmental taxation, an interministerial committee headed by the tax authority, are due to be submitted within days. The committee's intention is to spark a green revolution in transportation in Israel, through taxation. Cars that pollute less will enjoy purchase tax and license fee benefits, among other things, while more less environmentally friendly cars will be taxed more heavily. The draft refers to additional taxation of NIS 4,000 per vehicle.
