Response from the competent authority: Response from the Ministry of Finance, Tax
  Administration of the Republic of Slovenia. 40/09), the Tax Administration of the
  Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as the DURS) issued a public invitation
  to natural persons who are entered in the tax register and who have accounts opened
  with banks and savings banks outside the Republic of Slovenia to provide the competent
  tax office with information on accounts opened with banks or savings banks outside
  the Republic of Slovenia. A natural person shall register an account opened abroad
  using form DR-02 (Application for entry of a natural person in the tax register).
  The form is available on the DURS website as well as at all tax offices, so there
  should be no problems in obtaining the form. The form can be submitted to the DURS
  either by post or in person or electronically via the eTaxes system (as an 'Own
  Document'). The DURS has set up electronic filing of documents (in *.doc, *.pdf,
  *jpg, *.xls and other formats) via the Own Document (NF-LD) service in the eTaxes
  system for all documents that are not yet implemented as a form in the eTaxes system.
  A document submitted via the Own Document service complies with the format requirements
  of the General Administrative Procedure Act (in particular a secure signature),
  so that it will be treated by the tax authority as any other document received in
  physical form and signed by hand. The reason for this approach is that technically
  and in terms of time, it is not possible to provide all documents in electronic
  form at once. For each form implemented, back-office systems, business rules, technical
  support, etc. have to be provided. DURS provides an electronic service as far as
  possible at the moment. DURS also continues to develop the e-commerce service in
  terms of expanding the set of implemented forms according to the available resources
  and their implementation needs. This means that at any given moment the form DR-02
  can be submitted electronically by the taxable person via the Own Document service.
  The proposal to provide documents submitted via the Own Document service with the
  appropriate status according to the document system already implemented in the eTaxes
  system (the status of the document changes depending on the transition from system
  to system from filing to processed-successful) is not currently feasible because
  the form is not in electronic form but only electronically submitted. Once the DR-02
  form is implemented in electronic form, the document statuses will also be regulated
  accordingly. At present, the taxable person is informed that the document has been
  sent to the main office, which is also an indication that, in case of further questions,
  it is necessary to contact the competent main office of the tax office, where the
  taxable person can be directed to the person who is specifically dealing with his/her
  application. With regard to the verification of account information via the eTaxes
  system, we are aware of the inadequate display and we will, as soon as possible,
  amend the display of the information to make it more taxpayer-friendly.
