Slovenia Plans to Tax Second Homes to Boost Budget Revenues
- Annual levy is set to apply to about 525,000 properties
- Move faces resistance from homeowners and the opposition
Slovenia plans to impose a tax on second homes to raise budget revenue and slow the appreciation of property prices amid a housing shortage.
The move is a political gamble. Prime Minister Robert Golob’s administration is behind in polls ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election and is facing resistance to the tax from homeowners and the opposition.
