- The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice issued an opinion in Case C-472/24, stating that profits from reselling in-game currency by a Lithuanian taxpayer are subject to VAT. The opinion clarified that in-game currency does not qualify for VAT exemption as it is not a legal tender or a voucher, and VAT applies to intangible assets like in-game currency. The final ruling by the ECJ is still pending.
