continuing its efforts with the concerned authorities to reduce sales tax on
restaurants not classified as tourist from 16 to 8 percent, and the service
allowance from 10 to 5 percent.
The representative of the food sector at the Jordan Chamber of
Commerce, Raed Hamadeh, said that a meeting was held yesterday evening with a
ministerial
economic team at the chamber's headquarters and the ministerial
team promised to discuss the issue soon, according to Al-Ghad.
Hamadeh stressed that cutting
taxes on non-tourism restaurants
would have a positive impact on the final prices paid by consumers.
He added that many restaurants that are not classified as tourist restaurants
offer food that reflects the local culture.
Hamadeh stressed the need to translate the partnership between the
public and private sectors into decisions that contribute to moving the economy
forward and revitalizing commercial markets.
