Slovenia’s Ministry of Finance released a draft bill Thursday in Ljubljana proposing a 25% tax on profits from crypto asset disposals, opening the measure to public discussion through May 5, 2025. The initiative, introduced by the Ministry of Finance Directorate for the Tax, Customs and Other Public Revenue System, is part of a broader effort to harmonize Slovenian tax law with international standards. The proposed rules aim to enhance regulatory clarity while minimizing administrative burdens on taxpayers. The official text, as translated by Google, outlines the conditions under which individuals must report gains and how those gains will be assessed.

Under the proposal, the tax applies to profits earned from converting crypto assets into fiat currency, using them for goods or services, or transferring them to another person. The Ministry defined these actions as “disposals,” and excluded crypto-for-crypto exchanges or wallet transfers involving the same holder. The draft emphasizes:

The tax is calculated and paid at a proportional rate of 25 percent.

The tax base is the profit realized in the tax year, calculated as the difference between the value at disposal and value at acquisition. Taxpayers must keep detailed records of all acquisitions and disposals and present them to tax authorities upon request.

The bill includes an optional simplified method for calculating income tax on crypto-related activities over the past five years. Under this option, the tax base is set at 40% of the combined value of crypto assets as of Dec. 31, 2025, and the total value of crypto asset disposals during that period, whether exchanged for fiat currency, goods, or services.

The Ministry also proposed changes to the taxation of derivative financial instruments to align with Slovenia’s Capital Market Development Strategy for 2023–2030. These would mirror the crypto tax rate and structure, offering a uniform approach. The Ministry stated:

We propose taxation for these instruments at a proportional rate of 25 percent, regardless of the holding period or the time that has passed since the transaction was concluded.

Both legislative drafts represent an effort to modernize Slovenia’s approach to taxing evolving financial assets.
