Tax Tribunal Rules Skin Sales Not Economic Activity for VAT Purposes

• The case involved whether the sale of skins by the complainant was considered an economic activity under the VAT law.
• The complainant was a student and played CSGO in his free time, not professionally or in a team.
• During 2020, he bought skins for approximately 474,754 DKK and sold them for approximately 495,897 DKK, without VAT applied.
• The Tax Appeals Board determined the sales did not constitute an economic activity as the skins were used for personal gaming enjoyment.
• The complainant sold the skins at prices similar to what he paid, indicating no profit motive.
• The Tax Appeals Board overturned the Tax Agency’s decision to impose an outgoing VAT of 99,177 DKK for 2020.
