AmCham Conference 'Sustainable Tax System: Policy, Practice and Perspectives'

AmCham is pleased to announce the conference "Sustainable Tax System: Policy, Practice and Perspectives", with the participation of experts from the private and public sector.

At this year’s AmCham conference, we will discuss ways to create an efficient and fair tax system that supports economic growth, retains human capital, and removes investment barriers within the single market.  

This year, the conference will focus on the labor tax relief, administrative simplification of business operations, and system digitalization in the context of research and development (R&D). Through dynamic discussions and the exchange of best practices, participants will have the opportunity to explore how tax policy can become a powerful tool for strengthening Croatia’s competitiveness and creating a favorable and sustainable business environment.  

The goal of the event is to exchange insights and best practices on how tax policy can contribute to enhancing Croatia’s competitiveness, fostering economic growth, and developing a sustainable business environment.
