Some evidence for implementing an enhanced relationship in Slovenia

Abstract

Fostering an enhanced relationship between the tax administration and taxpayers is a promising approach for transforming traditional vertical relationships into a partnership based on trust and close, proactive cooperation. This article examines an example of such efforts, based on a pilot project in Slovenia called Horizontal Monitoring. After two years of operation, the project has justified its existence and represents a solid basis for extension to a larger group of taxpayers.
