The Tax Authority has filed an indictment in the Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court against Yigal Bililty and his construction and renovation company, "Quick Het Ltd.". The defendants are charged with the illegal deduction of input tax totaling approximately 12 million shekels under aggravating circumstances.

The indictment was filed by Adv. Idan Yosef from the Legal Department in Be'er Sheva, following an investigation conducted by the Be'er Sheva Customs and VAT Investigation Unit.

The charges state that between 2019 and 2022, Bililty, who serves as a director and shareholder, received hundreds of fictitious tax invoices from five different suppliers for transactions that were neither performed nor intended to be performed. Based on these invoices, the defendant deducted approximately 12 million shekels in input tax in the company's reports to the Tax Authority, thereby fictitiously inflating expenses and falsely reducing the tax liability.

The Legal Department noted that the acts were committed under aggravating circumstances due to their systematic nature, the scope of the offenses, and the high amounts of VAT evaded.
