Is the VAT system fit for a virtual world?

Matthias Luther, Florian S. Zawodsky (Ernst & Young GmbH, Germany)

Would it be a taxable transaction if two avatars decided to contract with each other for consideration? At least in the real world, in most jurisdictions, concepts of a sales or a value added tax exist and enjoy quite some popularity. Why not in a virtual world? Do ‘normal’ tax rules apply? Do we need special taxes for virtual worlds?
