If you as a natural person not engaged in a business activity are renting out your property (room, flat, equipment, etc.) to another natural person, you will have to file a personal income tax return for property rental income (Income tax assessment return for income from letting property SI) to the financial administration by no later than 28 February of the current year for the previous year.
If you as a natural person are renting out your property to a business entity established in the Republic of Slovenia, i.e. to the payer of the tax, the calculation and payment of personal income tax will be made by the payer of the tax (the payer of income), and you as the lessor will not need to file a tax return.
On the basis of a tax return filed before 30 April of the current year for the previous year, the tax authority issues a decision on the assessment of property rental income tax.
Tax assessment
The personal income tax is calculated and paid at a rate of 15 % (for years 2020 and 2021 27,5 %, for years 2019 and earlier 25 %) of the tax base, i.e. the amount of income from property rental less flat rate expenses totaling 10 % (15 % for years 2020 and 2021, for years 2019 and earlier 10 %) of the earned income. Instead of flat rate expenses, taxable persons may also claim the actual costs incurred to preserve the useful value of property. Taxable persons must attach to their tax return appropriate receipts to demonstrate the actual costs incurred. Personal tax on property rental income is considered to be the final tax and is not included in the annual tax base.
If personal income tax is calculated and paid by the payer of the tax (the payer of income), taxable persons may claim actual costs with respect to property rental income (Tax base reduction for income from letting property for the purpose of claiming actual costs SI). Taxable persons must submit their claims by 15 January of the current year for the previous year.
Personal tax on property rental income must be paid in the state budget through the transitional tax account, i.e. state budget account no. SI56011008881000030, payment reference code SI19 DŠ-41009.
