Response from the competent authority: "Reply Zavod za zdravstveno zavarovanje Slovenije\
  \ (ZZZS):The petitioner states that he has recently found out that the opt-out from\
  \ paying the compulsory health insurance has to be arranged first at the ZZZS (where\
  \ you sign the form, and then at the Tax Office). At the tax office, the official\
  \ opens the procedure for cancellation of the debit and attaches a photocopy of\
  \ the certificate that the status at the ZZZS has been changed. He thinks that it\
  \ should be easier for citizens to deal with the tax authorities by going to only\
  \ one authority, which would inform all the others (ZZZS, ZPIZ, DURS).\r\nWith regard\
  \ to the above-mentioned initiative, we would like to clarify that the Institute\
  \ is authorised to accept applications for all compulsory social insurance schemes.\
  \ The obligation to pay a contribution is triggered by the inclusion in the insurance.\
  \ Since social insurance contributions are collected by the Tax Office of the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as the DURS), the Institute communicates\
  \ to the DURS on a daily basis the agreed information on insured persons (information\
  \ on registration, changes to the information already provided and withdrawal from\
  \ insurance) for the purpose of verifying the correct calculation and collection\
  \ of contributions. When the DURS receives the information (usually on the first\
  \ working day of the following year), it is informed of the following\r\nthe date\
  \ on which the obligation to pay the contribution starts or ends. The person liable\
  \ for the payment of the contribution (in the specific case, the insured person\
  \ himself) is not obliged to communicate to the DURS any information concerning\
  \ the commencement or termination of the insurance.With regard to the specific case\
  \ of the petitioner, this means that the information on the withdrawal from the\
  \ compulsory insurance (we assume that in the specific case it was the withdrawal\
  \ from the voluntary pension and invalidity insurance) was forwarded to the DURS\
  \ on the same day. If the petitioner's allegations are correct that the persons\
  \ liable to pay the contributions must personally arrange the termination of the\
  \ obligation to pay the contributions at the DURS and submit there a copy of the\
  \ opt-out from the insurance, this petition should be referred to the DURS,\r\n\
  The Ministry of Finance (MoF) replies:With regard to the specific case, we would\
  \ like to reply that the registration or withdrawal from the voluntary inclusion\
  \ in the compulsory pension and invalidity insurance under Art. The information\
  \ on the way of handling the applicant or the opting-out is published by the DURS\
  \ on its website: http://www.durs.gov.si/si/prispevki_za_socialno_varnost/prostovoljna_vkljucitev_v_obvezno_pokojninsko_in_invalidsko_zavarovanje_pojasnila/.The\
  \ registration or withdrawal from the voluntary inclusion in the compulsory pension\
  \ and invalidity insurance is made by submitting the prescribed form M-1 or M-2\
  \ to the registration and withdrawal service of the ZZZS, which automatically transmits\
  \ the changes to the DURS on a daily basis, which then registers the changes in\
  \ the register of taxpayers and in the tax records at the competent tax office of\
  \ the ZZZS only in the case of registration of taxpayers who choose insurance for\
  \ a wider range of rights, it also refers these taxpayers to the tax office to make\
  \ a statement of the amount of the chosen insurance base.Following enquiries with\
  \ the tax office responsible for the Ljubljana area as to whether the communication\
  \ actually takes place as formalised, it was further clarified that there are also\
  \ exceptional cases, such as a retrospective opt-out by the opting-out person, in\
  \ which case ZZZS also sends the opting-out person to the tax authority, since it\
  \ is important to extract the information from the tax registers and records as\
  \ quickly as possible."
