Response from the competent authority: "Answer from the Ministry of FinanceThe Law\
  \ on Payment Services, Electronic Money Issuing Services and Payment Systems (ZPlaSSIED),\
  \ in Article 9, provides for direct debit (standing order). Direct debit is a payment\
  \ service where the payee, based on the payer's consent, orders a payment transaction\
  \ to debit the payer's payment account. The Ministry of Finance explains that the\
  \ objective of encouraging voluntary payment of levies is to enable taxable persons\
  \ to pay their obligations using modern payment methods, which represent a simpler\
  \ and, above all, cheaper way of paying compulsory levies. The Ministry of Finance\
  \ (FURS) has in the past considered the advisability of introducing payment by perpetual\
  \ usufruct, but has not decided to do so for the reasons set out below:Direct debits\
  \ to accounts or payment by perpetual usufruct is suitable for the payment of obligations\
  \ which are paid regularly on the same day each month in approximately the same\
  \ amount.Most taxable persons who are natural persons do not have regular monthly\
  \ payments of tax liabilities of approximately the same amount, but rather periodic\
  \ liabilities of varying amounts (e.g. annual income tax settlement, personal income\
  \ tax). For most natural persons, this method of settlement would mean that on the\
  \ day of the debit, which is not known in advance, they would need to have a cover\
  \ in their account, otherwise they would incur the additional cost of a missed debit.\
  \ Given the rules of the SEPA scheme under which direct debits are carried out and\
  \ the way in which corporate tax liabilities are assessed and paid, it has already\
  \ been established that direct debit is not an appropriate payment method in this\
  \ case. However, rather than paying by direct debit, which is not the usual method\
  \ of settling liabilities (including to regular monthly suppliers), taxable persons\
  \ who are legal persons or natural persons with an activity have been proposing\
  \ initiatives to allow the payment of liabilities by a single payment order for\
  \ all types of contributions and taxes, and the simplification of payments has been\
  \ designed more along these lines.In 2019 and 2020, it has been made possible to\
  \ simplify the payment of obligations for taxable persons by introducing payment\
  \ methods that allow the taxable person to pay several obligations belonging to\
  \ different public financing treasuries in one single payment order to one single\
  \ account. Thus, taxable persons can pay certain obligations on the basis of an\
  \ e-invoice sent to the taxable person's online bank or by making an online payment\
  \ directly from eTaxes (both from the web portal and the mobile app).\r\n More detailed\
  \ information is available on the website of the RS Tax Administration:Pay by e-invoicePay\
  \ by online payment from eTaxes\r\n "
