What Is Random Work in Israel?
Random work (eskat akrai, in Hebrew: עסקת אקראי) is a legal framework under Israeli tax law. It covers one-time or occasional income that is not part of ongoing business activity.
It applies when you earn money from a sale, service, or short project outside your regular occupation. The income must still be reported and taxed.
A transaction qualifies as random work when:
- It is not part of ongoing business activity
- It has a profit-generating component (subject to tax)
- It involves a sale, service, or economic activity
- It is one-time or occasional in nature
Common Random Work Scenarios
- One-time freelance projects — consultants, designers, or developers doing a single job for an Israeli company
- Selling personal property — equipment, vehicles, or assets outside a business context
- Students and event workers — short gigs, project-based work, or event staffing
- Foreign professionals — international freelancers providing services to Israeli businesses
Who Uses Random Work Arrangements?
Random work is ideal for anyone earning occasional income in Israel without a registered business.
Whether you are a remote worker, a digital nomad, a student, or a foreign contractor — this framework lets you stay compliant without the overhead of running a formal business.
Legal and Tax Risks of Informal Work
Working without proper invoices or reporting carries real consequences in Israel. Even occasional income must be handled correctly.
The default tax withholding rate is 30% without proper documentation. A tax exemption certificate can lower this rate.
Risks of Non-Compliance
- 30% tax withholding at source without documentation
- No social protections — no pension, no National Insurance, no payslip
- Audit risk — penalties and fines from the Tax Authority
- Employer liability — companies face compliance issues too
