Slovenia Wealth Tax Guide
Slovenia does not impose a net wealth tax. There is no annual tax on total assets, bank deposits, securities portfolios, or other investment holdings. The only recurring property-related charges are municipal fees on real estate. This makes Slovenia an attractive jurisdiction for high-net-worth individuals seeking to avoid wealth taxation.
Finančna uprava RS (FURS) administers all taxes. For related guidance, see our Property Tax Guide → and Inheritance & Gift Tax Guide →.
No Net Wealth Tax
- Slovenia has no net wealth tax (davek na premoženje). Unlike some European countries (France, Norway, Spain, Switzerland), Slovenia does not levy an annual tax on total net assets.
- There is no tax on financial assets, securities portfolios, cash deposits, or other investment holdings.
- There is no tax on the net worth of individuals resident in Slovenia.
What Does Exist
- Municipal property charges: Local municipalities may levy charges on real estate based on size, location, and purpose (approximately 0.1-0.5% of property value for commercial properties).
- Property transfer tax: 2% upon acquisition of real estate (buyer pays).
- Capital gains tax: 25% on gains from securities (0% after 15 years) and 25-40% on real estate gains.
- Inheritance and gift tax: 0% for spouses and direct line; 5-10% for others.
Comparison with Other EU Countries
- France: Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière (IFI) — 0.5-1.5% on real estate assets over EUR 1.3 million.

Implications for Investors
- Slovenia's absence of wealth tax makes it attractive for long-term investment holding and retirement planning.
- Investors holding large securities portfolios do not face annual wealth tax charges, unlike in some EU jurisdictions.
- The 0% CGT rate after 15 years of holding further enhances Slovenia's appeal for long-term investors.
