Slovenia: Increase of dividend and interests from corporate bonds withholding tax rate
Clearstream Banking1 informs customers that on 23 October 2019, the Slovenian National Assembly adopted the new Personal Income Tax Act providing an increase of the statutory withholding tax rate on dividends and interest from corporate bonds from 25% to 27.5% effective
1 January 2020
Impact on customers
As Clearstream Banking has 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.
