Bar Refaeli dodging Israel’s taxes?

Bar Refaeli not only ducked her mandatory military service in Israel, she also wants to duck its taxes. Lawyers for Leo DiCaprio‘s favorite model have been negotiating for months to declare her a nonresident of the country for tax purposes. “That would save her hundreds of thousands of shekels a year,” Israeli paper Haaretz reports. But the Israel Tax Authority has countered with a demand for large amounts in unpaid back taxes. The ITA argues her home is Israel even if her company is registered in Singapore, her bank accounts are offshore and she spends more than half the year abroad.
