I especially like that 10% proposal to convert to fiat or pay for goods/services which actually means that the tax is fully automated, there is no paperwork, and every crypto -> fiat transaction is taxed. It is also good news that amounts up to EUR 15 000 do not need to be reported and will not be taxed, which is great news for ordinary people - but also to emphasize that this bill applies only to physical persons who are Slovenian citizens.

It would be interesting to see what the EU thinks about this, and whether some other countries may apply a similar model in the future - although there are already 0% tax laws in Germany and Croatia that apply to crypto-assets sold 1 or 2 years after purchase.

That 15.000 € per year really is a surprising exception since you now need to report interests from banks fiat saving accounts if they are higher than 1000 € per year.
This new crypto law would indeed be good for long time holders.

25% tax, not really a tax heaven but still better than a lot of countries in the UE (except Portugal but how long will it stay...)

This is a very good move, though it means a lot of taxes; especially in an era where some countries are planning on banning the cryptocurrencies, it is good to see a country that is ready to accept cryptocurrencies and tax it, making it legitimate in their country. Also, the limit is good enough to avoid taxing low usage of crypto.

First they filled Slovenia with atms and shops that accept Bitcoin, and now they are increasing taxes... it seems like a wicked plan by government parasites.
For anyone that if not familiar, Slovenia is probably one of the countries with biggest adoption of cryptocurrencies in Europe, you can use crypto everywhere in many shops.
They even have their own company for creating payment network Elly - Eligma GoCrypto that was sadly purchased by Roger Ver or he invested a lot of money in that, and they plan expansion to whole world.
I am not going to suggest anyone to pay or avoid paying taxes, but p2p trading in person is always available option

The fact that the government will only tax once a user turns his crypto to fiat means, your stash of coins is safe until it's converted. If you live in a country, you have the responsibility to pay tax and I think 10% is considerate and fair.

It's not fair for the rich crypto trader. So wealthy guys won't get away anymore with not paying tax if this is automated that before the money come out of the ATM, the tax will be subtracted already?

Depending on how the profit is defined, there can still be quite some complexity.

Love this.

I think that simple, low taxes for cryptos will enforce more compliance and could actually lead to more profits in the long run for the government.

The threshold for reporting is something that every government around the world should trial as well, because that would significantly reduce people's anxieties for record keeping.

I see that 10% on converting cryptocurrency into money or spending on goods and services is fair and good for ordinary citizens, especially since this tax will not be imposed on amounts less than 15,000$. In my opinion, this will encourage the spread of cryptocurrencies in Slovenia and will be beneficial for both parties. The government and the investors, the government will get the taxes and the investors will work freely under the auspices of the regulations. I hope that the rest of the European Union will take the same approach that Slovenia did.
