The Regulation on assistance to the population due to the increase in the consumer price index was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, No. 55, dated July 13, 2022.

Employers in the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina may (but are not obliged to) make a one-time payment of assistance to an employee in the amount of up to a maximum of 1,080 KM no later than December 31, 2022. The payment is non-taxable (no calculation of contributions and taxes) and is paid exclusively to the employee’s transaction accounts (no cash payments).

The Regulation did not define successive payments, i.e. payments in multiple installments, as employers proposed. It is possible that this part of the Regulation will be amended.
