Crypto Tax in Slovenia
Overview
Slovenia introduced a new crypto tax law effective January 1, 2026, imposing a 25% flat tax on gains from crypto-to-fiat conversions and crypto payments for goods and services. Until end of 2025, individual crypto trading gains were generally tax-free (not subject to capital gains tax) unless classified as business income. Crypto-to-crypto swaps remain non-taxable events under the new framework. The new law taxes only the difference between the disposal price and acquisition cost when converting to fiat or spending. Mining and staking income are treated as other income taxed at progressive rates.

Crypto Tax in Australia
The ATO (Australian Taxation Office) treats cryptocurrency as a CGT asset. Capital gains rules apply on disposal. A 50% CGT discount is available for assets held over 12 months. The ATO is very active in crypto enforcement — they receive data from exchanges and have sent letters to hundreds of thousands of Australians about unreported crypto gains.
Crypto Tax in Canada
The CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) treats cryptocurrency as a commodity, and gains from disposing of it are generally treated as capital gains (50% inclusion rate) or business income (100% inclusion) depending on the facts. If you're a frequent trader trading as a business, 100% of gains are taxable. Most individual investors get the 50% capital gains inclusion rate.
Crypto Tax in Japan
Japan's National Tax Agency classifies cryptocurrency gains as 'miscellaneous income', subject to progressive income tax rates up to 55% (including local taxes). This is one of the highest crypto tax rates globally. Japan has been working on proposals to reduce crypto tax rates, particularly for long-term holdings, but as of 2024 the high rates remain in effect.
Crypto Tax in Singapore
Singapore has no capital gains tax, making it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for cryptocurrency investors. However, if cryptocurrency trading constitutes a trade or business, the gains are taxable as income at corporate or personal income tax rates. The IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) determines this based on the 'badges of trade' — frequency, volume, and intention.
