As a country with the Euro currency and as one of the members of the European Union, offers a very good investment environment which does not know the real estate tax, at least not in the form as it is known in the larger European Member States.Corporate income tax in Slovenia is 19% and has risen to 20% since 2020. Personal income tax ranges from 19% to 50% (2018). Value added tax amounts to 22% and 9.5%. A 9.5% tax is also levied on new buildings and on the sale of building plots. Profit tax is projected to increase slightly in the coming years.
Slovenian GDP growth is exported-led and fueled by demand in larger European markets. Between 2014 and 2016 annual GDP growth was above 2.3% while in 2017-18 it reached 5%. Stubbornly high unemployment fell below 5.5% in early 2018 thanks to strong exports and increased consumption that boosted labor demand.
Citizens of the OECD, EFTA and EU are eligible to purchase real estate in Slovenia. Citizens of Serbia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania need a positive decision on reciprocity when acquiring property rights.
If you decide to rent an apartment out for long-term period of time (let's say you made an investment in Slovenia), you can expect to be taxed around 22% of the value of rent for legal entities, or 27% for physical person. The new law (2018) also mentions rents in a sense that it limits them byrequiring they be as close as possible to the average rent of the concerned area.
