Are you working two jobs?
Question: Hi,
Does anyone know if a person has more than one legal income(i.e. two day jobs) do they get taxed 50% for the second income by Mas Hachnasa?
Does it matter if one is an Atzmaee or not? Or is there a threshhold of any kind before a high tax kicks in?
Both incomes are added together and tax is paid according to the tax rates on both incomes combined. The highest marginal tax rate today for an individual is 45%.
It makes no difference if both incomes are salaries or self-employed, or if one is salary and the other self-employed.
You will have to go to the tax office and get a "teum mas". If you don't, your employers - both of them - are required to withhold the maximum. Take the last 2 salary slips with you when you go or if one is a self-employed income, take latest profit and loss statement.
Tax rates are based on a graduated scale. The tax brackets for 2010 are:
first 57,240 NIS - 10%
from 57,241 to 101,640 NIS - 14 %
from 101,641 to 152,640 NIS - 23 %
from 152,641 to 219,000 NIS - 30 %
from 219,001 to 472,080 NIS - 33 %
above 472,080 NIS - 45 %

"Question: advice on the Israeli interview process. What kinds of
questions are asked? How professional do I need to be/dressed?"
Answer (from a seasoned veteran):
"You don't need to wear your finest. My guideline is "appropriate business" - what you could expect to wear on the job. Avoid jeans & T-shirts at all costs. Shoes should look nice.
To get any more specific would require knowing the type of job, the type of company, the company's location, etc.
Location is important. Jerusalem tends to be a bit more formal than Tel Aviv. A lawyer or accountant office would be more formal than a print shop. Hi-tech isn't as formal, but for the interview you should dress nice.
Try and find out a bit about the company and adapt. For example, if there are a lot of religious people, it is better to dress more modestly. No need to go out any purchase clothing, but most people have something appropriate.
As to questions, that would depend on so many factors that it isn't worth trying to answer. They'll want to get a feel for the person that they didn't get from the resume. They want to make sure that the person has the right people skills for the job - a receptionist position requires different people skills than a lab technician. And they want to make sure that you have the skills for the job, both communication skills and what you actually wrote in the resume.
I'm a software engineer and I usually interview software engineers. The questions that I ask tend to make sure that the person can do the job and won't be a source of friction in the group. I test knowledge and talk about related experience. I couldn't care about your post-army trip to visit a guru in India, unless you happened to have learned Hindi (which could be useful to the company).
There are laws prohibiting certain questions, but unlike Western countries, they are largely ignored. Family status is technically on the list, but since most Israelis put the info on their resume, employers get away with asking about it. I've heard of interviews where a female candidate was asked whether she was planning on having more children, because maternity leave would inconvenience the group. In one interview, I was asked whether the fact that everyone went out for drinks on Thu evening and got together once a month on Friday night for a night on the town (spouses invited) was going to be an issue."
