National Insurance contributions, which include health tax payments, are set to be increased on January 1, with the expectation of adding costs of between NIS 1,000 to NIS 2,000 ($275-$550) a year to an average household. National Insurance contributions are often described as a form of tax, as they are collected by the state to finance public goods.
In a statement, committee chairman MK Yisrael Eichler (United Torah Judaism) says that National Insurance contributions are “not income tax” and that “there is no justification for severely and permanently harming vulnerable workers.”

According to the bill as approved by the committee, employees earning up to NIS 7,522 ($2,058) will be subject to monthly payments equal to 1.6 percent of their salaries — 40% of which will come out of their earnings and 60% of which will be paid by their employers.
The government will be allowed to extend the higher rate twice for a period of a year, subject to committee approval.
