IAI is an attractive and inspiring workplace with cutting-edge technology that has real meaning. IAI has a unique combination of tremendous value, both for the State of Israel and its employees. This is a company with a national mission and “unit pride” as the Company’s employees are engaged in the development and manufacture of products of critical national security importance to the State of Israel, through ground-breaking projects. Technology: IAI develops and manufactures the systems of the future thanks to a combination of human resources, capital, advanced technologies, knowledge, and experience that enable it to meet the challenges of the future battlefield at the highest levels of performance and excellence. The Company competes in international markets with outstanding success using the most innovative and groundbreaking technology. Its goal is not only to integrate into the future, but also to create it.

Research and Development: In recent years, IAI, which is one Israel’s largest technology companies, has invested over $1 billion USD each year in research and development efforts. The Company employs thousands of talented scientists and engineers who serve professional and experienced knowledge centers. These experts operate in a variety of advanced development techniques in the security market, from a single electronic card level to large and complex systems.
Innovation: Continuous innovation is an inherent part of the DNA of the Company’s employees as it encourages “out of the box” thinking. In an independent survey conducted last year, IAI management found that innovation and cutting-edge technology are the features most identified with the Company and that IAI is ranked among the top three companies in the world. In recent years, there have been several “innovation centers”
designed to identify and develop innovative areas and products. Working at the Company is an opportunity to enjoy a start-up atmosphere and revolutionary thinking within a large organization and to take part in a professional incubator for sprouting creative and revolutionary ideas. The Company registers many new patents every year, and is second in registering new patents in Israel and the first among the defense companies.
Human resources: In the aerospace and defense industry, there is strict adherence to the selection process and examination of candidates, from both the professional and personal aspects. The work environment comprises a high-quality and special human texture. In order to continue to meet the Company’s high standards that currently exist and continue to develop products that are at the forefront of the industry, IAI recruits Israel’s most qualified engineers and gives them the opportunity to take part in a technological experience that no other company can compete with. IAI seeks to nurture and preserve the wide diversity of its human resources, across all professions, with broad support services offered equally to all.
Diversity: IAI’s size, and the fact that hundreds of projects are in progress
concurrently, allows the employee to experience new issues, be integrated into several projects simultaneously, and experience different technologies and methods throughout one’s career with the Company while receiving the finest and broadest professional training. The career horizon at IAI is long-term: many of the Company’s senior executives began their professional careers with the Company as students during their university studies, and alongside the Company’s development, grew and landed in key positions, and even moved between various business units, from aviation, to radars, to air defense.
Professional life management alongside a private life: Working at IAI enables managinga social and family life in addition to a challenging and prosperous career. Mothers are given unique terms, flexible working hours, and additional benefits. Just recently, Tuesday was declared a day without meetings in the second half of the day, to ensure that all company employees do not miss a meeting and can also free up for their personal lives. In addition, employees enjoy special vacations and grants for marriage, childbirth, bar/bat mitzvah, and more.
Gaining experience as a student: IAI allows students to work part time, combine practice and theory, and gain experience and knowledge while working alongside the best professionals. IAI currently employs hundreds of students in various fields of engineering, who are integrated into a variety of Company projects.

Along with expressing great appreciation for the contributions and achievements that have already been made on social and environmental issues, IAI is working towards formulating a more advanced and focused vision.

יחסי שליחות בדיני המס

יחסי שליחות מתקיימים כאשר צד א’ – השולח, המייפה את כוחו של צד ב’ – השלוח, לפעול בשמו ובעבורו. כך לדוגמא, במקום בו אייל לא מעוניין כי ידעו כי הוא בעל מניות בחברה, הוא מבקש מדודי להחזיק את מניותיו בעבורו.
מוסד השליחות הוסדר בישראל במסגרת חוק השליחות, תשכ”ה-1965 (להלן: “החוק”) . החוק קובע בין היתר כי כל פעולה משפטית שאין הכרח מהותי או חובה על-פי דין לבצעה באופן אישי, כשרה לשמש כנושא לשליחות.
