Odaily Planet Daily News: The Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a 25% tax rate on cryptocurrency capital gains starting from 2026, which applies to transactions that convert cryptocurrency assets into fiat currency or for consumption, but does not include swaps between cryptocurrency assets. The Ministry of Finance stated that this move aims to fill the loopholes in the current tax system and unify the taxation treatment of encrypted income with traditional investment income such as stocks and bonds. Previously, profits (before January 1, 2026) were not included in the scope of taxation, and transaction losses can be carried forward to offset future profits. The new tax system is expected to bring in 2.5 to 25 million euros in annual revenue for the country, and the Ministry of Finance is currently soliciting public opinions. According to data from the European Central Bank, Slovenia has the highest cryptocurrency ownership rate in the eurozone, with approximately 15% of adults holding cryptocurrency in 2023. (CoinDesk)
