Advocacy on Parafiscals

On March 27, FIC , SCC, AmCham and NALED jointly approached Finance Minister Dusan Vujovic to prevent new burden to be introduced by the new Law on Parafiscals and to ensure appellate procedure.

The joint initiative comes in support of the separate advocacies of those associations, and is incited by the tentative of the Environment Ministry to introduce new fees. New Law on Fees for the Use of Public Goods is very important for improving business environment in Serbia, the letter states, outlining that bad solutions could hamper this improvement. “This improvement would be significantly hampered if the enactment of this Law would be used for the increase of the burden on businesses, solidifying existing and introduction of new parafiscals and withholding the right to appeal on decisions provided in the first instance procedures”; the letter that can be accessed here below states. Three proposals are to prevent the increase of the burden to businesses, abolish charges that are not paid for the use of public goods and that are taken from other laws, and ensure possibility of appellate procedures for all fees from the Law.
