Lahav-Association of Independent Contractors and Businesses in Israel v. Attorney General

Israel Supreme Court
HCJ 6304/09 (2010)

Facts

Israel’s legislature amended the National Health Law and raised the ceiling for payments of health taxes and assessments for national insurance. Before the amendment, the tax was assessed at the same rate up to five times the national average salary, but under the new law, the tax would be assessed at the same rate up to 10 times the national average salary. Lahav-Association of Independent Contractors and Businesses in Israel (plaintiff) sued the Israel attorney general (defendant), claiming that the amendment discriminated against higher-income individuals by assessing more taxes against these wealthy individuals as compared with moderate-income individuals without providing increased benefits to the people who paid more under the health and insurance system.
