Retirement Grant
A retirement grant (maanek prisha) is any payment beyond the statutory severance pay – such as a special retirement bonus, loyalty bonus, or enhanced severance package. This additional amount is taxable as ordinary income but can be spread over up to 6 years to reduce the tax burden.
Example
Senior executive retires after 25 years. Receives: statutory severance of ₪500,000 (exempt up to ₪332,750) + retirement grant of ₪200,000.
Taxable: (₪500,000 − ₪332,750) + ₪200,000 = ₪367,250
If spread over 6 years: ₪61,208/year → taxed at lower brackets
Compared to lump-sum taxation at 50%: significant savings.
