Is this guide for me?

Yes, if you are (or are becoming) a tax resident of Israel — an oleh, a future oleh or a dual national settled in Israel — and you keep assets, income or wealth in the United States or the United Kingdom. The single most important rule: the US never stops taxing its citizens' worldwide income, and the Israeli 10-year oleh exemption does not switch off US or UK obligations.

What's inside

Tax residency: US citizenship-based taxation vs the UK Statutory Residence Test
US: worldwide taxation, FBAR & FATCA, FIRPTA on property sales
US: IRA/401(k), Social Security, the $60,000 estate-tax trap, the PFIC trap, the exit tax
UK: Statutory Residence Test & split year, NRCGT and the 60-day return
UK: Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, pensions/SIPP & the NT code, ISAs
The 2025 UK residence-based Inheritance Tax reform
The 10-year oleh exemption + the 2026 Israel reform (Amendment 272)
Inheritance across three systems (US, UK, Israel)
Running a US or UK company from Israel (CFC, GILTI)
Receiving a large sum, oleh customs relief on the container
Forms, legal references, FAQ, worked case studies and an EN/Hebrew glossary

The 2026 reform for olim

Since 1 January 2026, Amendment 272 (the "Milchan law") ends the reporting exemption: even while tax-exempt in Israel, the new oleh must report foreign income and assets every year. The guide explains the grandfathering, why your exact tax-residency date is decisive, and the new 2025-2026 incentive — without ever reducing your separate US filing duties.

Read together with Guide n°1 "Tax Guide for Foreign Investors", which covers the Israeli taxes of buying property in Israel (purchase tax, Israeli capital gains, renting in Israel). The guides are complementary — see the full guide catalogue.
