Invoice Without Osek Israel: Freelancers Working for Local and International Companies
Many Israeli freelancers need to invoice without Osek Israel — they work for foreign or local companies but have not registered as an Osek Murshe or Osek Patur. The Freelancer Shield solves this by providing a compliant way to invoice without Osek in Israel.
Freelancer Shield is designed for Israeli residents who invoice local or international clients and want full legal compliance without the burden of running their own business entity.
- ✓ You’re an Israeli resident working remotely for Israeli or international clients
- ✓ You invoice in NIS, USD, EUR, or other currency
- ✓ You want Israeli pension and social security contributions handled properly
- ✓ You need compliant Israeli invoicing and VAT/tax handling
- ✓ You have a full-time job and earn extra income on the side
- ✓ You don’t want the admin burden of registering as a sole proprietor (Osek)
- ✓ You’re a US citizen looking to avoid double Social Security payments
Israeli law requires every payment for services to be invoiced and reported — even one-time or casual work.
⚠ Why You Need Freelancer Shield
Without proper compliance, freelancing in Israel can expose you to serious risk:
- ⚠Foreign income may not be properly reported to the Tax Authority
- ⚠You lose pension and severance rights you’re legally entitled to
- ⚠National Insurance (Bituach Leumi) contributions go unpaid
- ⚠You face retroactive tax liabilities and potential penalties
- ⚠You may need to open a business file (Osek) — a time-consuming process
With Freelancer Shield, you receive a legal payslip as an Atzmai Sachir — no business registration required.
How Freelancer Shield Works
Three steps — and your compliance is completely handled.
You Work, We Handle the Rest
Continue working for your client as normal. CWS issues the invoice to them on your behalf, legally and in full compliance with Israeli law.
Payment Received
Your client pays CWS. We receive payment in NIS or foreign currency (USD, EUR, GBP and others), handle VAT reporting, and manage all filings with the tax authorities.
You Get Protected & Paid
We pay your Israeli salary net of all contributions: pension, National Insurance (Bituach Leumi), income tax, and our transparent 5% + ₪50 service fee. Your payslip arrives each month.
CWS Freelancer Shield operates in partnership with PwC Israel, ensuring your filings and financial planning meet the highest standards of compliance and integrity.
Simple, Fair, and Proportional
Pay only in proportion to what you earn. No setup fee. No hidden charges.
