You must admit it makes ZERO SENSE to be self employed in Slovenia unless you are well well established and whoever have written law must hate this very nation to death. Yeah, you must pay seen bellow weather you make any sales(income) or not and this every month - its where you go broke before you even start...if you are blacklisted on employment market in this country, you best choice is to either run out of one(what most people do and its why so many do on what those are replaced with foreigners from selected countries) or face mental hospital issues in case you family has income somehow - and off course homelessness. Easy to understand based on sen bellow Slovenia is North Korea inside of European Union(nobody has anything like this against own population).
