Is bitcoin legal in Slovakia?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Slovakia. Crypto platforms serving Slovak customers operate under the EU's MiCA regulation, with the National Bank of Slovakia acting as the national supervisor. Tax has been a moving target: a June 2023 amendment would have taxed crypto held over a year at 7 percent, but parliament repealed the cut in December 2023 as part of budget consolidation before it took effect, leaving gains taxed as ordinary income.
