Trade and Investment Committee

2023 POLICY ISSUES

1. Recommendations for Tax Reform 

  • AmCham continues its work on on proposals for additional tax relief and tax unburdening aimed at attracting investments and increasing competitiveness of Croatian employers in recruiting and retaining workforce.
  • The position paper will include new additional measures for improvement of the functioning of tax system

2. Labor Law

  • The position paper will include additional changes and amendments that will contribute to a better contractual relationship between employers and employees.
  • It will include recommendations for further improvement of labor legislation, as well as the entire labor legal eco-system (including, for example, protection at work, undeclared work and the like).

3. EU funds

  • Tenders for EU funds in Croatia are generic, and should be adapted to solving specific problems and funding gaps, which financial institutions are not interested in because their projects are unprofitable/too risky. Similarly, the level of participation in centralized EU user programs in Croatia is low.
  • Based on statistical data and trends on the market, the goal is to show how Croatia can better direct EU grants to specific needs (e.g., renewable energy sources, "green" vehicle fleets, etc.).

During 2023, Trade and Investment Committee will closely monitor and timely react if deemed necessary on key topics that include:

  • Investments
  • Administrative and parafiscal unburdening
  • Aliens Act
