VAT Liability for Sale of Virtual “Gold” in Runescape Deemed Economic Activity by Tax Tribunal

  • The case concerned whether the sale of virtual “gold” in the game Runescape constituted an economic activity subject to VAT.
  • The taxpayer sold virtual “gold” for DKK 2,551,527 over about 2,500 transactions in 2020, without charging VAT.
  • The Tax Appeals Board (Landsskatteretten) found that the scale and frequency of sales meant the activity was a VAT-liable business.
  • The decision partially changed the Tax Agency’s (Skattestyrelsen) assessment by reducing the VAT amount, as the tax base was not correctly calculated.
  • The decision was made by majority vote, with some dissent.
