Tax Debtors Named in Name and Shame List


The list includes all those who are more than 90 days behind on their taxes or social security contributions worth at least EUR 5,000.

 

The list is broken down by amount of the debt, but exact figures are not provided. Among companies, the bankrupt Maxicom developer owes the state over EUR 20m.

 

Two bankrupt companies meanwhile owe between EUR 10m and 20m in taxes: HTC Dva, the takeover vehicle in the failed management buyout of hardware retailer Merkur, and builder Vegrad.

 

Among individuals, the most high profile names among those owing more than EUR 1m to the state are businessmen Igor Bavčar, the former chairman of the Istrabenz holding, and Matej Raščan, who headed magazine publisher Delo Revije.

 

 

The biggest individual debtor listed is businessman Zoran Trifunović, who in 2010 sued the Tax Administration officials claiming that his debt stemming from trade in petroleum products in the late 1990s has fallen under the statue of limitations.

 

The list was published on the basis of new legislation passed by the previous government allowing tax debtors to be named in order to encourage them to pay their taxes.

 

The list will be updated on a monthly basis, while the first list was compiled on data as on 25 March 2013.
