Jordan gov't urged to reconsider sales tax on medicines

  • Jordan: Monday, July 06 - 2009 at 10:51

The Jordan Pharmacists Association (JPhA) has called on the government to reconsider the sales tax imposed on pharmaceutical products, saying it will lead to a further increase in prices of medicine. The JPhA had threatened last week to close pharmacies across the kingdom for four hours on July 19, in an effort to have the controversial legislation scrapped in Parliament. 'Medicine is not a luxury item, it is a necessity that people cannot do without,' JPhA President Taher Shakhshir has said.
