מלכודת הרווחים הכלואים בישראל נסגרת.

02Who solves this today

Three Israeli tax practices that publish dedicated client updates on the Section 81 trapped-profits regime on their own websites and offer their tax department to advise closely-held companies on the pathway choice — the route an Israeli founder or family-business CFO actually takes when the Q4 deadline approaches. Each was checked live on the date of writing. The list is intentionally narrow.

Listed providers publicly market to the Israel Section 81 / closely-held-company / trapped-profits / 2% surtax planning niche on their own client-update or news pages. Inclusion is not endorsement. Adjacent vendors and firms were considered and excluded where their public homepage did not explicitly name the niche at the date of writing — CWS Israel (cwsisrael.com) returned HTTP 200 but the homepage marketed Employer-of-Record, payroll outsourcing and digital-reporting compliance services rather than closely-held-company tax planning, so it is referenced in section 01 as a trade-press citation rather than listed as a third-party solution; KPMG Israel (kpmg.com/il) returned HTTP 200 but the tax-services page surfaced only generic international-tax / transfer-pricing / global-mobility lines with no Section 81 / closely-held-company / trapped-profits service line, so it was dropped; Deloitte Israel (deloitte.com/il) returned HTTP 200 but the tax-services page covered only Corporate / International / Indirect / Transfer Pricing taxation with no Section 81 reference, so it was dropped; PwC Israel (pwc.com/il) returned HTTP 403 on the tax-services page probed and the niche could not be confirmed at the front-page level, so it was dropped pending re-check; EY Israel (ey.com/en_il/services/tax) returned HTTP 404 on the tax-services page probed, so it was dropped pending re-check; Pearl Cohen tax (pearlcohen.com/practices/tax) returned HTTP 200 but the page focused on transfer-pricing and Domestic Tax with no Section 81 / closely-held reference, so it was dropped; Shibolet (shibolet.com/practice/tax) returned HTTP 200 but the practice page referenced civil/criminal/income/VAT/international tax broadly with no closely-held-company or trapped-profits language, so it was dropped; FBC & Co. (fbclawyers.com/practices/tax) returned HTTP 200 but listed only coronavirus-relief, municipal-tax-discount, real-estate professional-activity, bad-debt-deductions and ESOP updates with no Section 81 reference, so it was dropped; Goldfarb Seligman (goldfarb.com/practices/tax) returned HTTP 403, Yigal Arnon (yigalarnon.com/practices/tax) returned ECONNREFUSED, Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman (dtkgmlaw.com) returned ECONNREFUSED, Meitar (meitar.com/Practice/Detail/3) returned HTTP 404 — all four dropped pending re-check; Trullion, Hyp, Sweep, Sumit, Komo, Papaya Global IL, Deel IL, Hashavshevet, Rivhit, Priority and Hilan were considered as tax-tech / accounting-platform candidates but did not surface a public closely-held-company / Section 81 / trapped-profits / 2% surtax / 6% deemed-dividend planning module on their homepages at the date of writing, so all were dropped pending re-check (the niche today is professional-services advisory, not a packaged software offering — which is precisely the wedge the third TL;DR bullet describes). The Israel Tax Authority and Ministry of Finance — the rule-makers publishing Section 81 guidance, draft "bad surpluses" regulations and the April 2026 digital-reporting API — are referenced in section 01 as the regulators rather than listed as third-party solution providers. Jerusalem Post is referenced in section 01 as a trade-press citation; Barnea, Herzog Fox & Neeman and S. Horowitz double as solution providers because their own front-line client updates self-market specific Section 81 advisory capabilities.
