Nvidia expected to double its tax payments in Israel to about $2.6 billion

In depth

Nvidia paid about $1.3 billion in tax in Israel in the year that ended in January. The reduced tax rate and benefits it received lowered its total tax by $3 billion, and its profits doubled. From the start of 2026, a 15% minimum tax applies.

Israel is expected to double its tax collection from the company to about $2.6 billion, but it will receive most of the increase only in another one to two years.

Israel's revenues from taxes linked to Nvidia are estimated at more than 10 billion shekels a year and help curb the deficit. Economists at Leader estimate that Nvidia will pay taxes in Israel totaling 10–15 billion shekels this year, and warn of a possible hit to revenues in the coming years, ahead of 2027.
