Israel reporting cycles and business-day rules
Israeli business-day cycles align with Mas Hachnasa (Israel Tax Authority) monthly VAT deadlines on the 15th of the following month, Bituach Leumi (National Insurance Institute) monthly contributions, and quarterly corporate income tax instalments. The Bank of Israel operates ZAHAV as the wholesale RTGS system on bank business days. The workweek is Sunday through Thursday; Friday is a half-day in many sectors and Saturday (Shabbat) is a full closure under the Hours of Work and Rest Law. TASE (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange) trades Sunday through Thursday. ISA (Israel Securities Authority) regulates listed-entity disclosures with quarterly cycles.
