Section 1 -- Quick Reference

Quick Reference

Field	Value
Country	Republic of Slovenia
Currency	EUR
Headline lever	Normiranec (standardised-expense) s.p. — 80% deemed expenses, so you're taxed on only ~20% of revenue
Corporate tax (d.o.o.)	19%
Anti-avoidance	Substance; mandatory exit thresholds; disguised employment (single-client "s.p.")

The Slovenian headline is the NORMIRANEC regime: a sole proprietor is granted 80% standardised expenses (no receipts needed), so tax + contributions fall on only ~20% of revenue — a very low effective rate for low-cost service freelancers.

Section 2 -- Normiranec (standardised-expense) Regime

Normiranec (standardised-expense) Regime

Feature	Full-time s.p.	Part-time s.p.
Standardised expenses	80% of revenue up to €60,000	80% up to €12,500, then 40% up to €30,000
Stay-in revenue ceiling	up to €120,000 (2-yr average)	up to €50,000
Tax base	the non-deemed portion of revenue (≈20%)	as above

You pay tax/contributions on the small deemed-profit base instead of real profit — ideal when real expenses are well below 80%. No bookkeeping of actual costs. (Sibiz; Data)

• 2026 change — normiranci move to a progressive scale; revenue above €120,000 is taxed at 35%.

Section 3 -- Regime Choice

Regime Choice

Route	Best when
Normiranec s.p.	Low real expenses, revenue within the ceilings, want simplicity → tax on ~20% of revenue
Regular s.p. (real expenses)	Real expenses > 80% of revenue, or above the normiranec ceiling
d.o.o. (company, 19% CIT)	Higher profit retained/reinvested; liability/credibility; want to control salary/dividend extraction

• Tipping points — crossing the €60,000 (80% cap) or €120,000 (stay-in) thresholds; real expenses exceeding the 80% deemed level; consistent high retained profit → model a d.o.o.

Section 4 -- d.o.o. Extraction

• Corporate income tax (CIT) — 19% percent (on profit; retained profit deferred until distribution)
• Owner salary vs dividends — Owner balances a (deductible, contribution-bearing) salary against dividends. [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the current dividend tax rate and any owner-salary minimums.] ([RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the current dividend tax rate and any owner-salary minimums.])

Section 5 -- Red Lines (do not cross)

• Mandatory exit — when the 2-year average revenue exceeds the threshold (€50,000 part-time / €120,000 full-time), you must leave the normiranec regime — don't under-report to stay in.
• Disguised employment — a single-client "s.p." under employer-like control can be reclassified. AUDIT FLASH POINT.
• Fragmentation — splitting one business across related s.p./d.o.o. to stay under thresholds, without substance, is challengeable.

PROHIBITIONS

• No combining regimes — NEVER combine the 80% standardised expenses with real-expense deductions — it is one or the other.
• No under-reporting advice — NEVER advise under-reporting revenue to remain a normiranec.
• No disguised employment presentation — NEVER present a single-client s.p. as genuine self-employment.
• No contradiction of related skills — NEVER contradict the rates in slovenia-income-tax.md / slovenia-social-contributions.md.
• No presenting research gaps as confirmed — NEVER present [RESEARCH GAP] figures as confirmed, nor optimisation as definitive advice — route to a licensed Slovenian tax adviser.
