Odaily News The Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a 25% tax on cryptocurrency capital gains starting in 2026, which will apply to transactions that convert crypto assets into fiat currency or use them for consumption, but will not include swaps between crypto assets. The Ministry of Finance said the move is aimed at filling loopholes in the current tax system and taxing crypto gains in line with traditional investment gains such as stocks and bonds. Previous gains (before January 1, 2026) were not taxed, and trading losses could be carried forward to offset future gains. The new tax system is expected to bring the country between 2.5 million and 25 million euros in revenue each year, and the Ministry of Finance is currently soliciting public opinions. ECB data shows that Slovenia has the highest rate of crypto holdings in the eurozone, with about 15% of adults holding cryptocurrencies in 2023. (CoinDesk)
