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.") |
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 |
2026 change
normiranci move to a **progressive scale**; revenue above €120,000 is taxed at **35%**. **[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the 2026 progressive brackets and whether the flat treatment is fully replaced.]**[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the 2026 progressive brackets and whether the flat treatment is fully replaced.]
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.
Corporate income tax (CIT)

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.
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)
Regime Choice

|---|---|
| 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 |

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.]
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.
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.
