Finance Ministry Request to Reduce Tax on Non-Kosher Fish
Rejected
By Eliezer Rauchberger
The Knesset Finance Committee unanimously refused to approve a Finance
Ministry request to reduce the tax on non-kosher fish.
Committee Chairman MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni, who led the decision, said,
"The majority of the state's citizens consume kosher fish, and no
allowances should be made for tax reductions on non-kosher fish."
The Finance Ministry request applied only to non-kosher fish, while
the same request calls for a customs increase on other products.
