TechFlow, April 18 — According to Cointelegraph, the Slovenian Ministry of Finance is considering imposing a 25% tax rate on capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions by residents. The draft proposal is currently open for public consultation. Under the proposal, taxation would apply when traders convert cryptocurrencies into fiat currency or use them to pay for goods and services, while transactions between different cryptocurrencies and transfers between wallets owned by the same user would remain tax-exempt.
Finance Minister Klemen stated that the purpose of taxing crypto assets is not to increase revenue, but because it is currently unreasonable to exempt individual cryptocurrency transactions from taxation. If passed, the bill would take effect on January 1, 2026. Notably, Slovenia previously introduced a 10% tax rate on cryptocurrency withdrawals and payments in 2023.
