How to file a Slovenian tax return for stocks (eDavki, in English)

Before you start: what you need

Filing is only possible online, and only through eDavki. You will need three things: a Slovenian tax number (davčna številka), a way to log in, and the completed form. Everything else is mechanics.

Checklist

☐ Slovenian tax number (issued by FURS)

☐ SI-PASS account, a qualified digital certificate, or an eID

☐ The XML file for the right form (Doh-KDVP for capital gains, Doh-Div for dividends)

Which form do you actually need?

This trips people up more than the language. Slovenia does not have one combined return for investments — each type of income has its own form, and all of them share the same deadline.

Doh-KDVP — you sold shares, ETFs or other securities

Doh-Div — you received dividends

Doh-Obr — you earned interest on cash

D-IFI — you traded derivatives such as CFDs

If you sold at a loss, you still have to file Doh-KDVP. A negative result does not remove the obligation. The rates, the mandatory FIFO method and the 30-day rule are explained in Capital Gains Tax in Slovenia.

Step 1 — Log in to eDavki

1. Go to edavki.gov.si

2. Click Vstopi v e-Davke — “Enter eDavki”

3. Log in with SI-PASS, an eID or a tax certificate

4. You land on the document overview for your tax number

SI-PASS is the national login used across Slovenian public services. Setting it up is a separate process and worth doing well before the deadline, not on the last evening.

Step 2 — Import the XML file

This is the part that saves the most time. eDavki accepts a prepared XML file, so you do not have to type in every trade by hand. Importing is an official portal feature, not a workaround.

1. In the left menu, click Dokumenti — “Documents”

2. Click Uvoz dokumenta — “Import document”

3. Click Izberi datoteko — “Choose file” — and pick your XML

4. Click Uvozi — “Import”

5. The portal recognises the form type and opens it in the editor

If the import fails, do not edit the XML by hand. Generate it again and import the fresh file — manual edits are the most common cause of a file the portal will not accept.

Step 3 — Check the figures, then submit

1. Review the imported rows in the editor — purchases and disposals

2. Compare the total gain or loss against your own figures

3. Click Oddaj or Pošlji — “Submit”

4. Save the confirmation PDF for your records

FURS usually issues an assessment decision within about 30 days. You pay the tax by the date stated in that decision, not at the moment of filing.

The deadline

All four forms are due by 28 February for the previous calendar year. If that date falls on a weekend or a holiday, it moves to the next working day.

Missing the deadline is not fatal. Slovenia has a self-disclosure procedure (samoprijava) which lets you file late and pay the tax plus interest without the fine — but only if you come forward before FURS starts asking.

A note on currency

If you traded in dollars or another non-euro currency, every transaction must be converted to euros at the European Central Bank reference rate for the date of that transaction — not the rate your broker used, and not a year-end rate. With a few dozen trades this is where manual spreadsheets and the portal start to disagree.
