Sole trader in Slovenia
Sole trader in Slovenia is a natural person who independently conducts business on the market with the intention of making a profit. What this means is, that the person is a natural as well as a legal entity. In the economic legislation of Slovenia, an independent entrepreneur can be found in the “Companies Act ZGD-1” where it is listed under Articles 71 to 75.
Sole trader is obliged to keep accounts, pay taxes, submit final accounts, pay social security contributions, etc. On the other hand, the law clearly states that the sole trader in Slovenia is responsible for his obligations with his own property and NOT only with property created with his business. That is why sole proprietors must be especially careful not to create losses or debts.
