Now that Netanyahu is sailing along, he still needs to pay attention to the public service
Yes, there are many functions that you can do on-line, but as an English speaker, I'm not sure if I will fill out the right form, or get to the right department. So, I take the time to go to the Tax Authority and see the right person. The day I had time this week was on Tuesday. I take off the time from work, and go to the office and . . . they won't let me in on Tuesdays!
The office in Jerusalem on Kanfei Nesharim 66 is open Sunday Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, in the morning 8:30-13:30, on Monday and I think in Monday and Thursday from 16:00-18:00.
This is the website, but good luck finding the information! https://taxes.gov.il/Pages/InfoTaxesGovIl/TaxesUnits.aspx
Instead of reducing the hours of public service which is little enough, they should hire more people to work and get the work done and give better service to the tax paying public.
Or they could translate the site into English, French, Russian and Arabic like many other institutions do. For example Golan Telecom (https://www.golantelecom.co.il/web/ in lots of languages )and Bank Jerusalem (in English) https://www.bankjerusalem.co.il/pages/Default.aspxhave their sites in all the languages and you can do most of the functions even if you don't read Hebrew perfectly.
Improve service - Not take away Service!
