Slovenia: Decrease of withholding tax rate on dividends and interest from corporate bonds
Clearstream Banking1 would like to inform customers that on 21 March 2022, the Slovenian National Assembly adopted the new Personal Income Tax Act (Zdoh-2Z), providing a decrease of the statutory withholding tax rate on dividends and interest from corporate bonds from 27.5% to 25% effective
22 March 2022
and applying to the tax year starting from and including 1 January 2022.
Impact on customers
As Clearstream Banking offers no service of relief at source on the Slovenian market, the highest withholding tax rate applies on dividends and interest from corporate bonds regardless of the status of the investor.
Interest income from Government debt securities remains exempt from withholding tax.
Already paid tax between 1 January 2022 and 22 March 2022 will be corrected by our local depository. Clearstream Banking will process the adjustments upon receipt of the depository’s corrections.
