- The Icelandic tax authority has issued a directive clarifying VAT rules for the sale of artworks, reproductions, and utilitarian art. Generally, artworks like paintings, drawings, sculptures, and original prints are subject to VAT, but artists may be exempt when selling their own original works under specific tariff numbers. Mass-produced reproductions, printed artworks, photographs, and utilitarian items resembling commercial goods are taxable. Artists selling copies of their own works must also charge VAT. Artists selling taxable items must register for VAT if their sales exceed 2,000,000 ISK annually.
