Slovenia
Legal
Legal
Brazil passed comprehensive crypto legislation (Law 14,478) in December 2022, which took effect in June 2023. The Banco Central do Brasil was designated as the primary regulator for crypto assets used as payment, while the CVM oversees crypto securities. Capital gains on crypto are taxed at 15-22.5%.
Slovenia proposed a 25% tax on crypto capital gains effective January 2026, but the law was pulled from the December 2025 legislative session and has not been enacted. Currently, individual crypto trading gains remain untaxed. Slovenia has been crypto-friendly, with Ljubljana hosting Bitcoin City and a strong blockchain community. VASPs must register for AML compliance. MiCA applies from December 2024.
