The reply from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Spatial Planning on the transparency of electricity bills states that taxes and contributions should be shown separately on each bill. Source: http://www.predlagam.vladi.si/webroot/idea/view/4022/null/answers.
This rule applies perfectly well to electricity, water, waste management and gas supply (natural and other heating - I do not know about autogas), insurance transactions (except for fire insurance, where it is not indicated how much the fire tax is, and motor liability insurance, where it is not indicated how much the compulsory contribution of the Health Insurance Fund is for the treatment of persons injured in traffic accidents).
However, I note a deviation from this rule in the following cases:
- fuel for the propulsion of road motor vehicles (diesel and petrol) - I do not know what the situation is in the case of the purchase of the above-mentioned fuels for agricultural machinery and working machines, since in that case the right to refund of part of the excise duty applies....
- fuel oil
- alcoholic beverages
- tobacco and tobacco products
- sweetened beverages
- gambling
- financial services (financial services tax will now be levied)
- other products and services where (in addition to any VAT) other levies are levied (e.g. fire insurance, motor insurance, etc.).
In the cases of the first to fifth indent, excise duty is not shown on the invoices, nor is environmental tax in the cases of the first and second indents, nor is gambling tax in the case of the sixth indent.
I propose that, in addition to VAT, excise duties, environmental taxes and other taxes should also be shown separately on the invoices for the products and services listed above.
This would give consumers a better idea of how much a product (or service) actually costs and how much the state collects.
