A tax on virtual property should be paid with virtual money.
Is the US dollar virtual money?
it will be soon..
This is more of a tax on the real-world transactions of paying real money for virtual gold in-game. I used to play World of Warcraft, and I forked over $40 for 500 gold or so. There was no tax on the transaction, and I think that’s what they’re trying to regulate.
For my money, I would love to see them try to tax the economy in EVE Online. EVE Online has the largest open market economy IN THE WORLD (real or virtual), and trying to tax the game (they’re based in Iceland) would be a fool’s gambit.
