Oleh chadash
A new immigrant. Purchase-tax relief runs one year before Aliyah through seven years after.
Oleh status is a tax and benefits category, not a marketing label. For purchase tax, a qualifying oleh buying a sole Israeli residence can use the post-15 Aug 2024 bands (0% / 0.5% / 8%) on contracts signed up to one year before Aliyah or within seven years after. Construction time does not consume the pre-Aliyah year if Aliyah is within three years of signing; IDF service does not consume the seven years. Above ₪20,183,565 the oleh benefit is lost. Eligibility is personal; Shavnu will not infer it from browsing.
