- 23:30Slovenia Plans to Impose 25% Tax on Personal Cryptocurrency Profits Starting 2026According to Fxstreet, Slovenia plans to impose a 25% tax on personal cryptocurrency profits starting January 1, 2026, pending public feedback and parliamentary approval. The draft law proposed by the country's Ministry of Finance on Thursday aims to align the treatment of crypto assets with other investment tools, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Currently, Slovenian law taxes cryptocurrency income for businesses, but individual investors operate in a legal gray area, reaping large profits tax-free. The proposed change aims to end this disparity and establish a more balanced framework for capital gains across asset classes. According to the Ministry of Finance, the new rules will apply to profits acquired when cryptocurrencies are exchanged for fiat currency like euros or used to purchase goods and services. However, under the new guidelines, exchanges between cryptocurrencies (such as exchanging Bitcoin for Ethereum) will remain tax-exempt, considering the technical complexity and impracticality of taxing such transactions. Notably, Slovenia's cryptocurrency regulation proposal excludes security tokens, CBDCs, electronic money tokens, and NFTs from taxable asset categories. The government estimates that this tax reform could add between 2.5 million to 25 million euros annually to the national budget.
