- Register once. Fill in your personal details and a digital tax form (Form 101). It takes about five minutes and there is no business file to open.
- Enter the transaction. Add the client name, amount, service description and date for the invoice you want to issue.
- NETO issues the invoice. NETO sends a proper tax invoice to your client on your behalf, as your licensed employer of record.
- Receive net payment and a payslip. Once your client pays, NETO deducts the statutory taxes, pension and the flat 5% commission, then transfers the net amount to your bank account with an official payslip.
Invoicing clients abroad · 0% VAT
Working with companies in the US, Europe or elsewhere? Through NETO you can issue invoices in foreign currency (USD, EUR, GBP and more) to overseas business clients. Invoices for the export of services to a foreign business may be issued at 0% VAT under Section 30 of the VAT Law, subject to the conditions of the law.
That can save your overseas client the VAT cost, gives you a real competitive advantage, and keeps international payments legal and orderly. Funds are converted to shekels at the bank rate and transferred to your account after tax deductions.
