Slovenia Rental Income Tax Guide
Rental income in Slovenia is taxed as part of the recipient's worldwide income at progressive IIT rates (0-39%). A standard deduction of 10% of gross rental income (or actual documented expenses) is available. Short-term tourist rentals (via platforms like Airbnb) and long-term residential rentals are both taxable. All amounts in EUR.
Finančna uprava RS (FURS) administers rental income tax. For related guidance, see our Personal Tax Guide → and Property Tax Guide →.
How Rental Income Is Taxed
- Rental income is treated as income from property and aggregated with other personal income for IIT purposes.
- Taxed at progressive IIT rates: 0% (up to EUR 8,755), 16%, 26%, 33%, 39%.
- Rental income received by a registered business (e.g., through a company) is taxed under CIT at 19% (or 10% for small enterprises).
Deductions
- Standard deduction: 10% of gross rental income, automatically applied, covering general maintenance and administrative costs.
- Actual expenses: Taxpayers may opt to deduct documented actual expenses instead of the 10% flat rate, including:
- Repairs and maintenance
- Property management fees
- Insurance premiums
- Interest on mortgage loans related to the rental property
- Municipal charges and utilities
- Depreciation of the property (furnishings and equipment)
Short-Term vs Long-Term Rentals
- Long-term residential rentals: Standard rental income rules apply. A written lease agreement is recommended.
- Short-term tourist rentals: Income from platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com) is taxable. Hosts may need to register with the Tourist Agency and pay a tourist tax (turistična taksa) in addition to IIT.
- Furnished rentals: A higher standard deduction may apply if the property is fully furnished, or actual costs of furnishing may be depreciated.
Reporting & Payment
- Rental income is reported on the annual personal tax return via e-Davki by 31 July of the following year.
- Tax is payable upon receipt of the assessment notice from FURS.
- For non-residents receiving rental income from Slovenian property, a withholding tax of 15% may apply (reduced under DTTs).
