The Slovenian Finance Minister (MoF) gave an overview of the fiscal measures to be taken in 2017 and the projected measures allocated into three main categories: i) Restructuring the tax burden on individuals and businesses; ii) improving the efficiency of collection and reduction of administrative burdens, and iii) reducing the costs associated with the payment of taxes to improve the business environment.
The proposed measures are as follows:
- Various income tax improvements, including improved tax arrangements for non-residents;
- the establishment of new anti-abuse mechanisms;
- the extension of the tonnage tax scheme;
- implementation and management of fiscal transparency and avoidance measures, including related EU directives and the OECD BEPS minimum standards;
- approval of the Multilateral Convention on the Implementation of Taxation Related Measures to Prevent BEPS, signed by Slovenia on 7 June 2017; and
- Extension of the accessibility of e-payment choices.
