Slovenia Imposes 25% Capital Gains Tax on Cryptocurrency Transactions
Slovenia has officially introduced a 25% tax on profits generated from cryptocurrency transactions, aligning digital asset taxation with traditional investment income. The new policy, effective immediately, applies to both individual and institutional investors, marking a significant step in the country’s regulatory framework for crypto assets. Financial analysts suggest this move could influence broader EU crypto tax policies as member states seek harmonization. The Slovenian Ministry of Finance clarified that the flat rate applies to capital gains exceeding €1,000 annually, with provisions for loss carryforwards. This development follows growing pressure from EU authorities to standardize cryptocurrency taxation across the bloc.
