Palestine tax profile
Data year: 2026
- Tax system
- Territorial Palestine applies Income Tax Law No. 8 of 2011 (and amendments). Taxable income is generally income realised in Palestine from any source unless the law grants a specific exemption. Foreign-source income is exempt unless it arises from the taxpayer’s funds or deposits in Palestine. The system is influenced by the 1994 Paris Protocol economic arrangements with Israel (including VAT alignment).

Listed companies may exempt 100% of profits from trading listed stocks and bonds; private companies may exempt 25% of such profits (no deduction of related expenses on the exempt portion).
