Professional associations' economic coalition reiterates call for dialogue on income tax bill

AMMAN — The national coalition for economic institutions on Sunday reiterated that the income tax draft law must be withdrawn from the Parliament, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The coalition stressed the importance of launching a national dialogue on the bill in coordination with the professional associations, societies, commissions and unions.

In its statement, the group, launched by professional associations, societies, commissions and unions last week, underscored the right to express opinion through peaceful and civilised activities.

During a meeting on Sunday, the coalition's administrative committee was tasked with studying options to organise activities protesting the draft law across the Kingdom. It said that the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Commerce do not represent the coalition in regard to the draft law.
