- The Danish National Tax Court ruled that selling virtual gold in RuneScape constitutes a VAT-liable economic activity.
- An individual earned DKK 2,551,527 (about EUR 341,000) from selling RuneScape gold in 2020, leading to a VAT assessment of DKK 510,304 (about EUR 68,500).
- The individual appealed, claiming the activity was not VAT-liable, but the court found the scale and regularity of sales constituted a business.
- The court agreed with the Tax Authority’s position but reduced the VAT liability due to a miscalculation in the original tax base.
