Originally, under the Law no. 9/1991 Coll. on the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, membership in the Chamber was obligatory for legal entities and individuals which are entered into the Commercial Register. A change in this law states that membership in the Chamber is now not obligatory, although members are still obliged to pay the amount equivalent to the membership contribution.
In this respect, the Ministry of Finance confirmed that as the members of the Chamber are still obliged to pay the contribution, such a contribution is treated as a tax deductible expense.
