Slovenian trade unions have submitted a joint initiative to the government and the Ministry of Finance to increase net wages through adjustments to income tax reliefs and tax brackets. The unions propose increasing tax reliefs and bracket values by at least 10%, arguing that adjustments should reflect at least 50% of average monthly wage growth. 

Specifically, unions are requesting a 20% increase for meal reimbursements and a 15% increase for other non-taxable amounts, such as transport, mileage, and field allowances, noting these rates have not changed since 2022 despite significant inflation. The Slovenian Ministry of Finance is currently reviewing these proposals.
