Approach necessary for VAT treatment of crypto-assets: substantial evaluation beyond instrument denomination

  • The circular n. 30 provides clarifications on the tax treatment of crypto-assets, including indirect taxation.
  • There are no specific provisions for VAT on these instruments, so international best practices are used.
  • The EU should continue to support international efforts to promote convergence in the treatment of crypto-assets.
  • Crypto-assets are a heterogeneous and evolving category, with the spread of hybrid forms.
  • The Committee on VAT has proposed categorizing activities into payment, security, and utility tokens.
