case_law · Court of Justice of the EU · 2015-10-22· 1/2 anchored
SilentIn force
Scope: This EU case law establishes that the exchange of traditional currency for units of a virtual currency, and vice versa, constitutes a supply of services exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT).
Gap or ambiguity: The ruling is specific to fiat-to-crypto exchange, leaving the VAT treatment of other crypto-asset services like crypto-to-crypto swaps or staking unaddressed. This creates ambiguity for businesses offering a wider range of services.
