VAT has gone up

Okay everyone. The day has arrived. When you go out to buy something, your purchase will be subject to the new VAT rate. And that is now 18%..

The new rate even applies to price controlled items, so do not be shocked to see higher prices even on those items. You can be dismayed, but don't say I didn't warn you!

Here are some of the new rates for price controlled items, when the full list is published, I will update!

  1. So far it looks like the 1% has been added which isn't so much of a difference. I was scared that they'd round prices up another shekel or so.
