NFTs have recently made headlines as unique digital items that can be kept on the blockchain.
This new world of commercial activity has caught my attention with a particular interest in how NFTs are defined and whether sales of certain NFTs should be subject to VAT/GST.
First, what is an NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens)?
Well, it is what Twitter founder Jack Dorsey sold earlier this year for $2.9m. He sold the first tweet published and that tweet was sold as an NFT, or Non-Fungible Token.
An NFT is a unique cryptoasset that can, among many other possibilities, be an original piece of digital art, a piece of audio, a game or that first tweet ever published. Ownership of an NFT is also recorded on blockchain giving authenticity to the piece of art, audio, or other forms of data.
