Ahead of a clash with the Haredim: the tax benefits Likud is advancing with the opposition

Likud is advancing approval of tax benefits for nonprofits in cooperation with the opposition, while excluding Haredi nonprofits. The move, intended to resolve a deadlock with the tax authority, could lead to a frontal confrontation with the Haredi coalition partners six days before the elections. Coalition sources said Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed to pass the benefits 'at any cost'.

Six days before the elections, Likud is advancing approval of Section 46 tax credits for nonprofits, deliberately excluding Haredi nonprofits. The move arose from a deadlock with the tax authority and the opposition, which refused to approve Haredi nonprofits. Likud decided to approve the list with the opposition, without the Haredi sector. Coalition sources revealed they received an instruction from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pass it today 'at any cost'. This means a frontal confrontation with the Haredi parties just before the polls open.
