Sarajevo 30 December 2008 - 95th ITA GB session was held

The most important item on the agenda was certainly the draft Law on Excise Duties. Governing Board managed to agree regarding the proposal of draft Law on Excise Duties proposed by the Working group established for drafting the Law on Excise Duties in BiH. Proposed draft Law on Excise Duties was submitted to the GB members with few alternatives related to tobacco and tobacco products, alcohol, heating oil and refunds, on which members of the WG could not make an agreement about. GB members resolved dilemmas regarding mentioned excise products so the law was adopted and it will be sent to further procedure.
Out of other discussed items, GB adopted the Decision on Compensatory Interest Rate for the period from 1st of January 2009 to 30th June 2009. Compensatory Interest Rate will still amount to 12% for the next six months.
Proposal of the Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Customs Policy in BiH was also on the agenda, which was submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations. However, the proposal was rejected unanimously by the GB members.

The Indirect Taxation Authority Governing Board held its 94th session on Friday, 28th of November 2008 in Sarajevo.

The ITA Governing Board on its 94th session adopted the Rules of Procedure for the work of the Indirect Taxation Authority Governing Board and decided to have its seat in Mostar. The previous Rules of Procedure shall be put out of force by adopting this new one.
Book of Rules on Internal Organisation and Systematisation of job posts of the Units within the ITA GB was also adopted and four Units were established: Chairman’s Office, Legal Unit, Macroeconomic Analysis Unit and Final Consumption Unit.
The ITA Governing Board gave its consent to Amendments and Supplements to the Law on VAT, by which the projects with EU financial assistance to BiH through Instruments for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA funds) are exempted from the payment of VAT. The exemption from the payment of VAT is related solely to projects from IPA funds, while supplying with the goods and services from the other projects of international assistance to BiH is still subject to refund of paid VAT.
Consent was also given to Supplement to the Law on Customs Tariff of BiH, by which it was foreseen the introduction of tariff quote for import of 50.000 tons of sugar for refinement without paying the customs duties. The main reason for this is the need to enable approximately the same working conditions for domestic sugar producers as the ones that sugar producers in the CEFTA signatory countries have, and in that way increase the usage of installed domestic capacities and competitiveness of domestic producers.
The Governing Board also gave its consent to the proposal of Decision on Harmonizing and Determining Customs Tariff for BiH for 2009.
Two decisions were adopted: Decision on costs of control of goods outside the working place and time of customs organ and Decision on supplement to the decision on forming the Working Group for drafting the implementing act for allocation of indirect tax revenues.
The next GB meeting will be scheduled very soon (probably within 7 days) and it was planned to discuss draft Law on Excise Duties in BiH.

In the aim to implement the last phase in establishing the system for monthly reporting for revenues and expenditures of all administration levels in BiH, the Unit had initial meeting with the representatives of extra budgetary funds in Bosnia and Herzegovina . The Unit's work up to now was presented at the meeting as well as concept of reporting for all administration levels in the country through standard form via Internet.\r\nRepresentatives from funds expressed the problems that they are facing with in the work due to disharmonized financial reporting, budget codes and framework of accounts. There are huge differences in financial reporting of institutions/services between cantons. There is a need for coordination and harmonization in reporting in the view of harmonizing reporting format for different levels (canton, entity, IMF and Unit. There is also urgent need for making special rules for financial planning and framework of accounts for extra budgetary funds since the accounting of funds significantly differs from budgetary accounting. The Unit underlined a need to include all extra budgetary funds into the system before the end of the year. It is also the request of the Fiscal Council, international community in BiH and one of the conditions for new stand by arrangement with IMF. Being aware of short deadline for submission of monthly data for the last five months in 2006, the Unit agreed on submission of data successively until the end of August. After this, there should be regular monthly dynamics in submission of data.\r\n\r\nThere were directors or heads of finance departmens present from 24 extra budgetary funds. Consultans of EC project also adressed to those representatives. Aim of this project is to strengthen fiscal policy in BiH, which includes active work on haromonization of the reporting system for all administration levels and defining legal framework. The Unit would like to express thanks to the Foreign Trade Chamber for the conference room and technical equipment. ... [+]
