Accountant for Exempt Business Owner in Petach Tikva

Who is an Exempt Earner and Why Does He Need an Accountant?

An exempt earner is a self-employed individual who is registered with the Tax Authority but is exempt from the obligation to report his income to the tax authorities on a regular basis. This exemption is valid subject to certain conditions, such as low annual income or a specific type of activity. However, even an exempt earner must maintain proper accounting records, retain receipts and expenses, and submit an annual report on the specified date.

Many exempt earners in Petah Tikva — real estate agents, translators, consultants and others — fear the administrative burden and documentation. This is where an accountant for exempt earners comes in. Ben Or Kook office specializes in assisting such earners, providing accurate bookkeeping, proper annual reports and tax advice tailored to your situation.

Tax Rights and Benefits for Exempt Businesses

An exempt business owner is entitled to certain allowable expenses that reduce taxable income. This is one of the areas where an experienced accountant can help you achieve substantial savings.

Common Allowable Expenses

• Home Office: Proportional share of rent, electricity, water, and insurance.
• Equipment and Maintenance: Computer, telephone, furniture, tools, and equipment necessary for the business.
• Insurance: Professional liability insurance, vehicle insurance for business use, and other insurance related to operations.
• Transportation: Fuel, parking, vehicle maintenance (if used for business).
• Education and Training: Courses, books, and materials related to your field.
• Professional Services: Legal advice, accounting, graphic design, etc.
• Marketing and Administration: Website, advertising, business cards, marketing materials.

Many exempt business owners miss these expenses due to lack of knowledge or caution. An experienced accountant will identify all your allowable expenses and ensure they are properly classified.

What Happens If an Exempt Business Owner Exceeds the Exemption?

Under certain conditions, an exempt business owner may be required to file periodic reports or VAT if income exceeds a certain threshold or if the type of activity changes. Ben Or Kook monitors regulatory changes and informs you in time if your status needs to be modified.
