FIPA participated in a public debate in Gračanica

A public debate on the proposal of the Law on Income Tax, the Law on Contributions and the Law on Profit Tax was organized on October 24 in Gračanica and Tuzla by the Association of Employers of FBiH, FIPA, the Chamber of Commerce of FBiH, Foreign Investors Council (FIC) and the Representation of the German Economy in BiH (AHK BiH). 

Before the discussion, a presentation on the effects of the proposed drafts Laws was done to employers from the production sector. Participants in the discussion pointed to the fact that there is a growing departure of young people from the country and that this will negatively affect the labour market in BiH. It was also mentioned that the state should more effectively fight the grey economy, reduce the profit tax and reduce the excessive state administration. Observations were also made to the unclear definitions in the proposed Laws.

Considering that those Laws are extremely important for the further development of the production sector, the position of the employers in Gračanica and Tuzla was that the proposed legal solutions are not satisfactory and that they would submit amendments proposal to the disputable articles.

15 amendments proposals were prepared.

Public debates last 60 days and are scheduled in 10 cities in the FBiH. Suggestions and remarks by participants in public debates will be sent to the Government of FBiH.
