How to get a tax number
- With an address in Slovenia: assigned automatically once your address is registered; the certificate arrives within 8 days.
- Without an address in Slovenia: with form DR-02 at any FURS financial office (in person, through a proxy or by post); certificate within 8 days.
Why you need it
You need the tax number wherever Slovenia cannot do without it: salary and any other income, opening a bank account, a single permit application.
By law an employer cannot pay income to a person without a tax number.
Tax number and tax residency
Having the number does not make you a Slovenian tax resident. Residency is decided separately: a registered permanent address, habitual residence or your centre of personal and economic interests in Slovenia, or more than 183 days here in a tax year.
