The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the level of digitalisation of the Slovenian tax administration and to assess the satisfaction of users – primarily businesses – with the use of digital services provided by the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS). The thesis examines the development of digital solutions, the legal and organisational framework, and compares Slovenia’s progress with selected countries (Germany, France, and Croatia).
The theoretical part outlines the role of digitalisation in public administration, particularly in enhancing efficiency, transparency, and reducing administrative burdens. It presents Slovenia’s key digital tools, such as eDavki (eTaxes), eIzmenjava (eExchange), eVročanje (eDelivery), the fiscal cash register system, and QR code payments. The legal framework is aligned with European legislation, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Regulation (EU) 2018/1724.
The empirical part is based on a survey conducted among Slovenian companies that use FURS’s digital services. The results show that companies most frequently use eDavki and eInvoices, with most respondents expressing satisfaction with the accessibility and functionality of these services. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, such as system slowdowns, unclear instructions, technical issues with digital certificates, and limited technical support responsiveness. Users suggest greater automation, a more intuitive user interface, and stronger involvement of companies in the development of digital solutions.
The findings indicate that Slovenia has achieved a high level of digitalisation in its tax administration compared to other European countries. However, further optimisation of existing tools and stronger cooperation between FURS, businesses, and other stakeholders are essential to improve the user experience. The key to a successful digital transformation of the tax administration lies in user-centred design, system stability, and the adoption of best international practices.
