Slovenia floats 25% tax on personal crypto profits

Slovenia’s finance ministry has announced a proposal for a 25% tax on personal crypto profits, effective from January 1, 2026. This measure seeks to close the loophole that exempts individual investors while harmonizing tax regulations for crypto with those for traditional investments.

Under the new rules, profits from converting crypto to fiat or making payments will be taxed. Taxpayers need to maintain detailed records and submit annual tax returns by March 31 each year. Crypto-to-crypto trades, along with central bank digital currencies and NFTs, will not be subject to tax.

The Slovenian finance ministry estimates that the new tax could generate between €2.5 million and €25 million annually. A public consultation period is open until May 5, 2025, ahead of potential parliamentary approval of the new tax framework.
