以色列将个人进口品的增值税豁免加倍至150美元,以降低生活费用。 Israel doubles VAT exemption for personal imports to $150 to lower living costs.

以色列财政部长Bezalel Smotrich宣布,自2025年11月27日起,将个人进口品的增值税免税限额从75美元提高一倍,增至150美元。 Israel has doubled the VAT exemption limit for personal imports from $75 to $150, effective November 27, 2025, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced. 这一举措旨在降低生活费用,让消费者有更多机会获得负担得起的进口商品,特别是服装和鞋类产品,其中少数大公司控制着大约40%的市场。 The move aims to reduce the cost of living by allowing consumers greater access to affordable imported goods, particularly in clothing and footwear, where a few large companies control about 40% of the market. Smotrich指出,由集中的市场力量驱动的膨胀价格是削弱购买力的一个关键因素,购买力在38个国家中排第22位,而欧洲国家在38个国家中排名第22位。 Smotrich cited inflated prices driven by concentrated market power as a key factor in eroding purchasing power, which ranks Israel 22nd out of 38 countries compared to European nations. 该政策是政府为提高可负担性和经济公平性所做更广泛努力的一部分。 The policy is part of broader government efforts to improve affordability and economic fairness.
