Many governments have started enacting laws and guidelines concerning cryptocurrencies because of their expansion and adoption. The Slovenian Finance Ministry is actively involved in monitoring and regulating crypto usage. Recently, the ministry proposed a tax rate of ten percent on crypto activities, and it decided to request a public consultation with investors to understand their reactions towards the proposed bill.
If the proposed bill is enacted into law, which seems more probable, the tax rate will be for payments that are made using crypto or when crypto is converted into fiat currencies. The ten percent is on the amount being transacted, and not on the gain or profits made from the cryptocurrency.
The potential limit for the tax liability has been pegged at 15,000 euros for twelve months. This means that those investors that do not spend more than the stipulated amount in a year won’t pay the tax.
According to the Slovenian authorities,
“We would like to stress that it is not the profits that would be taxed but rather the amount that a Slovenian tax resident receives in his bank account when he turns virtual currency into cash or when he buys something.”
Apart from the aforementioned tax, crypto there has to pay a capital gains tax of 25% on the unrealized gains. Those that flout any of the tax rules will pay a fine between 250 euros to 5,000 euros.
