2024 POLICY ISSUES

1. Recommendations for Tax Reform 2024

• AmCham continuously works on proposals for further tax relief aimed at attracting investment and increasing the competitiveness of Croatian employers in attracting and retaining the workforce. In 2024, measures will be proposed with the aim of achieving a more competitive tax system and consequently the entire Croatian economy.

2. EU funds

• The current arrangement of EU funds for entrepreneurs in Croatia is marked by several structural problems including the endangerment of the principle of equal treatment, time inefficiency, and the limitations of existing digital systems for application and implementation of projects. The goal is to prepare a position paper proposing concrete measures to change the policy of functioning of the EU funds system for entrepreneurs.

3. Equal Pay Directive

• The Directive deals with the issue of applying the principle of equal pay for men and women for equal work or work of equal value. Transposition into Croatian legislation is planned for June 2026, but active involvement of the business community in this process is necessary.

During 2024, 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
