Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State, Rajai Muasher, said the government is seeking a meaningful dialogue with all economic figures and community institutions on the draft income tax law, in accordance with the Royal Letter of Designation.

During a panel discussion organized by the Amman Chamber of Industry on Wednesday, Muasher said the Royal Letter of Designation stated that developing the draft income tax law is a step towards a new economic and social approach, which leads to achieving growth and justice.

He added that the government is seeking to reach a new economic approach in order to achieve growth and equality in distributing the tax burden via a new draft law that is clear and acceptable to all segments of society.

The income tax bill will introduce a new tax system and then the government will start discussing other laws to reach a fair distribution of tax, the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Minister of Finance, Ezzedine Kanakrieh, said amending the income tax law is part of the financial reform program that the government is working on.
