Slovenia Proposes 25% Crypto <\/span>Tax<\/span><\/h2>\n

Last week, <\/span>Slovenia\u2019s<\/span> Ministry of Finance <\/span>introduced a draft law proposing a 25% tax<\/span><\/a> on personal gains from cryptocurrency sales, set to take effect on January 1, 2026, if approved. <\/span><\/p>\n

The tax targets <\/span>conversions of crypto<\/span> to fiat or spending on goods and services, while crypto-to-crypto swaps and wallet transfers remain exempt. Investors will be required to report gains annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finance Minister Klemen Bo\u0161tjan\u010di\u010d justified the move as a push for fairness, aligning crypto taxation with traditional investments. While the government expects to generate \u20ac2.5 million to \u20ac25 million annually, the proposal marks a significant shift in <\/span>Slovenia\u2019s<\/span> stance toward crypto. <\/span><\/p>\n
