AmCham III. Set of Recommendations for Economic Relief
The American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham) supports the Government’s measures to help businesses during the COVID-19 crisis but emphasizes the need to extend and further adapt them, especially for the tourism sector. AmCham highlights the importance of reducing parafiscal charges and increasing transparency, proposes tax relief measures (including tax loss carry-back, offsetting tax debts, and exemptions), and calls for the inclusion of non-profit educational institutions in support schemes. It also advocates lifting price controls on basic goods and removing the Sunday trading ban, as both measures distort market competition, reduce employment, and threaten economic recovery.
