The Israel Tax Authority is a governmental body responsible for tax collection in Israel, belonging to the Ministry of Finance.

The Tax Authority unifies the various tax departments: Income Tax, Real Estate Taxation, Value Added Tax, Purchase Tax, Customs, and Stamp Tax.
The Authority provides services on reforms, non-profit organizations, and information for employers, representatives, and the public.

The legal division of the Tax Authority handles matters at both the civil and criminal levels.

In the criminal sphere, the division handles the planning and management of criminal cases related to significant tax offenses in VAT and customs, as well as basic offenses in income tax, VAT, and customs.

Judicial authority in Israel is vested in the Judicial Branch. The Judicial Branch comprises Israel's court system, headed by the Supreme Court, as well as various tribunals. The court system itself consists of three instances: the Supreme Court, District Courts, and Magistrates' Courts.

The independence of the judiciary is guaranteed against interference from the legislative and executive branches. Below is a detailed explanation and expansion on the history of law and jurisdiction in the State of Israel.
