proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Finance\nThe Ministry of Finance has examined\
  \ the proposal and considers that in some places the petitioner expresses in an\
  \ inappropriate and offensive manner its disapproval of any tax burden on immovable\
  \ property. In this regard, we would like to clarify that Article 147 of the Constitution\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia provides only that the State shall prescribe taxes,\
  \ duties and other charges by law, otherwise the legislator has a relatively free\
  \ choice in assessing what type of tax burden is or would be most appropriate to\
  \ meet the financial needs of the State and to pursue the economic, fiscal and other\
  \ policies of the State. In fact, it is not permissible to call a legislative referendum\
  \ on taxes, customs duties and other compulsory levies (Article 90 of the Constitution\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia), by means of which citizens can express their opinion\
  \ on a particular subject and decide on it directly. The Constitutional Court of\
  \ the Republic of Slovenia has also repeatedly justified the constitutional admissibility\
  \ of multiple taxation of taxpayers with different taxes (also in its decision No\
  \ U-I-299/96).\n "
