Since the publication of the latest Action 14 Peer Review Report Slovenia has made efforts to make the following two tax Treaties in line with the Action 14 Minimum Standard: tax treaty between Slovenia and Thailand (entry into force of the MLI for the tax treaty) and tax treaty between Slovenia and Sweden (entry into force of the new tax treaty replacing the existing tax treaty). Furthermore, additional action is currently ongoing to make the tax treaty between Slovenia and Switzerland (signature of the protocol to the tax treaty on 30 May 2023) in line with the Action 14 Minimum Standard.
