Slovenia’s Ministry of Finance has proposed a significant change to its taxation policy for cryptocurrency. The proposal introduces a 25% capital gains tax on all cryptocurrency transactions, starting in 2026. This new tax will apply to both exchanges of crypto assets for fiat currency and to everyday purchases using cryptocurrency. However, swaps between different cryptocurrencies will be exempt. The aim is to address the existing loopholes in Slovenia’s tax system, bringing cryptocurrency taxation in line with traditional investments like stocks and bonds. Gains realized before January 1, 2026, will not be taxed. Additionally, losses from past transactions can be carried forward to offset future gains. This new tax regime is estimated to generate an annual revenue range of €2.5 million to €25 million for the country. The Ministry of Finance is currently seeking public input on this proposal.
