TAX INCREASES AND YOUR ISRAELI STOCKS

所以，它肯定似乎所有财务大臣亚伊尔·拉皮德会尽量平衡预算的办法是增加各种税收。从增值税，所得税和公司税1％的加息，以征税出售物业，即在媒体上被人谈论的唯一解决方案是用一个有点削减开支的同时增加税收。

不用说，我非常有信心，这些加税会不会落得平衡预算，将有可能导致当地股市的伤害。因此，而不是帮助吹嘘的“中产阶级”，他们将再次获得由非常有前途的一个拯救他们搞砸了。具有讽刺意味的那种！问题是，如果任何一个经济体，即小型和中型企业，真正的发动机收到另一个加税，这增加了负担最终可能会花费的工作。“哦，拜托Katsman，他们能负担得起，这只是1％，企业主都丰富反正。有什么大不了的？”那么事实是，大多数小型和中型的企业主是不是在所有的丰富都在努力每个月入不敷出。通过提高他们的企业税和增值税，他们将每1％缴纳，其利润空间可能会缩小的水平，他们是不赚钱。请记住业务的重点是为业主赚钱。

Middle-class people will have to pay more each time they go shopping, will have less money to shop with and, to top it off, their hard-earned savings may drop as well. Sounds like a great solution.

Why am I so skeptical? Because we have been down this road so many times that it’s clear tax increases don’t work. I have a better solution” Lower taxes across the board and watch the economy boom. The state’s coffers will swell and the budget will be balanced. Unfortunately, I feel like a lone soldier beating a dead horse, constantly pounding the table for tax cuts.

But no one seems to be listening, so take it as a given that your taxes are going up again – for the second time in two years.

What about your portfolio?

Flashback to December 2011, when populism trumped common sense as a result of that summer’s tent protests. That’s when I wrote about how devastating the upcoming tax increases would be for the economy. I wrote that with the hike in capital-gains tax, the government take from this tax would actually drop, and voila – as I wrote in a column a few months ago, revenue dropped 30%.

At the end of 2011, as the tax increases were about to take effect, I wrote: “The current issue for the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, which has dropped significantly this year, is that investors haven’t really been in the mood to buy local stocks.

现在添加公式这些新措施 - 和更多的惊喜 - 这可能损害经济增长，你必须继续为当地股市疲软的良方。具有讽刺意味的是，这实际上会伤害非常人，你是想帮助。

由于在民粹主义和政治生存放，它看起来像下阶层将继续旋转的车轮和到位运行 - 而不是很快就可以有上升的经济地位任何时候“。

Sound familiar?

It just happens that the TASE, while posting a gain since that point, has severely underperformed major global markets. The S&P 500 has produced a 14% higher gain than the TA-100 index. Most regions throughout the world have easily bested the TASE, including Europe, which has been on the verge of collapse.

So what should you do?

I am no fear-monger, I just like to tell it like it is. Readers of this column know that I am a big cheerleader when it comes to investing in Israel, but I am also a realist. We have seen the evidence in Israel that tax increases hurt stock-market performance.

Investors should speak with their financial advisers to analyze whether their Israeli stock exposure should be lowered in lieu of these tax hikes. While your pension money is mostly stuck in whatever fund you own, now maybe it’s the time to look at market opportunities around the globe, especially for your non-pension monies.
