Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Finance:The development
  of technology in the field of payment services as well as legislation offers various
  options for the settlement of liabilities, but each of them requires certain investments
  in the development of IT support as well as in the provision of adequate resources,
  both of which are available in limited quantities. The Financial Administration
  of the Republic of Slovenia continuously monitors changes and innovations in this
  area and, on the basis of the analyses carried out, decides on the most appropriate
  ways of settling the compulsory duties in order to cover the needs of the most numerous
  groups of taxpayers. Among other things, the Commission has in the past considered
  the advisability of introducing payment by standing order, but has not decided to
  do so for the reasons set out below:Direct debit or payment by standing order 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. The direct debit mandate also entails a considerable
  risk, especially if the debtors do not have regular monthly inflows into their account.
  Obliged persons who are legal persons or natural persons with a business activity
  are more interested in paying their obligations with a single payment order for
  all types of contributions and taxes rather than direct debits, which are not a
  common way of settling obligations (including to regular monthly suppliers), and
  solutions are being developed to simplify payments in this direction.In addition,
  the FURS is planning to introduce an online payment service for compulsory duties
  via the eTaxes system next year, and is considering the possibility of introducing
  state-of-the-art technical solutions to make it easier for taxpayers to pay their
  duties and, above all, to reduce the cost of payment services.
