Business status

Osek patur, osek murshe and osek zair: thresholds, reporting duties, and what changes when you are both salaried and self-employed.

Status decides which documents you may issue, whether you charge VAT, and how often you report. An osek patur charges no VAT and deducts no input VAT, an osek murshe does both and reports to VAT through the year, and a company is a separate entity with its own filings and a different tax calculation. Moving between them is not a decision made at the start of a year but a consequence of turnover, and crossing the ceiling requires registering as an osek murshe from the moment of the crossing. Anyone both salaried and self-employed carries both systems at once, which changes the tax calculation and the national insurance charge alike.
