Register of Budget Users

Data about the Republic of Slovenia, direct and indirect state and municipal budget users, budgets, managers of assets of the Single Treasury Account system, supervisors and accounts, and other information as stipulated in the Act governing payment and general government services are kept and updated daily in the Register of Budget Users.

Direct users of the national or municipal budgets are:

• state authorities and other entities designated by law as direct users of the state budget,
• municipalities and narrower parts of municipalities that have been granted the status of a legal entity under the municipal statute.

Indirect users of state or municipal budgets are legal entities that are organised in the legal form of public institutions, public agencies or public funds established by the state or municipality, unless otherwise provided by law.

The Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia is the primary registration authority for:

• direct users of the state budget and municipal budgets,
• budgets and managers of assets of the Single Treasury Account system,
• budget users that acquire legal capacity directly based on law or other constitutional document published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, and which, due to the provisions of the law or constitutional document, are not permitted to register with any other registration authority.

The Register of Companies is the primary register for indirect budget users who are required by law or their constitutional document to be entered in that register.

Within the Register of Budget Users, the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia keeps and maintains data on various types of accounts, namely:

• budget users' sub-accounts and units, which are intended to provide payment services,
• treasury sub-accounts of the asset managers of the Single Treasury Account system, which are intended to manage monetary assets of an individual Single Treasury Account system,
• general government revenue sub-accounts to which compulsory charges are wired,
• specific accounts with zero balance opened at commercial banks and savings banks that can only be used by budget users for deposit and withdrawal of cash,
• specific dedicated transaction accounts opened at the Bank of Slovenia intended for the use of funds stipulated in the Payment and General Government Services Act (in Slovenian),
• memorandum accounts for accounts opened outside of the Single Treasury Account system locally or abroad that can be opened in accordance with the Payment and General Government Services Act (in Slovenian), and
• internal sub-accounts necessary for the appropriate provision of payment services.
