The first report of the planned arnona tax on kevarim resulted in an across-the-board condemnation of Finance Minister Yair Lapid’s plan. When asked to comment on the report, Finance Ministry officials explained the media erred, explaining that if arnona tax is imposed on kevarim, it will be the responsibility of a chevra kadisha to pay, not the families of the deceased.
Maariv reports that after speaking with chevra kadisha officials, they explain that if they are billed for arnona on kevarim they will simply pass the cost along to families, amounting to several hundred NIS annually.
Maariv adds that for the time being the threat by chevra kadisha officials is an empty one since the current law does not permit the burial societies to pass the bill to families of the deceased.

when will he pass a tax per toilet flush(to be collected from the toilet manufacturers of course) what a meshuganur with no satchel hopefully his arrogance will finish him off soon
and if the tax doesn’t get paid – will Lapid dig up the party and burn it (and is this whole discussion really a new front in the hilonim’s war against Torah – to try to force an end to burial and switching to a more modern, and more secular, cremation).
Is this guy related to Bloomberg?
#1 Amen veamen
#2 No, he wants to be an example of hanging.
How many years of taxes does he owe for his dead father? mother too?
Let him start by paying the tax on his family first. and also for the rasha’s grave
