Amman: The government has given the green light to a series of significant decisions aimed at advancing economic and public sector modernization. As part of this initiative, regional youth have been trained and equipped to contribute to these projects, fostering improved living conditions and empowering them to channel their ideas and energies for community benefit.
According to Jordan News Agency, the cabinet has sanctioned the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) Investment Fund Law for 2024. This law is designed to support JUST’s initiatives and finance its development projects by establishing an independent budget investment fund, aligning with the economic modernization vision’s investment engine. The law outlines the fund’s financial resources, expenditure methods, and management, recognizing university investment activities as strategic solutions to financial challenges and resource shortages.
Additionally, the cabinet has approved the Oral and Dental Health Profession Regulation of 202
4. This regulation aims to oversee the oral and dental profession under the Public Health Law, differentiating between oral and dental health technicians and their assistants, and defining their competencies and practice conditions. This move aligns with the economic modernization vision’s goal of enhancing quality of life.
The cabinet also endorsed recommendations from the settlement and conciliation committee to resolve pending cases between 19 companies, taxpayers, and the Income and Sales Tax Department, in line with the Income Tax Law and the General Sales Tax Law provisions.
Moreover, the Council of Ministers approved the committee’s suggestions to reconsider unresolved cases between taxpayers and the Jordan Customs Department, settling 23 cases. Taxpayers or violators are required to pay all outstanding dues, fees, taxes, or costs within two months of this decision.
These settlements are part of the broader economic modernization vision, which seeks to improve taxpayer compliance, streamline the bus
iness and investment environment, and increase tax revenue to support economic growth, bolster the treasury, and enhance service provision for citizens.
