| Description | The participants discuss the games, their design, and user experiences as a ground for virtual and real-life taxes. The discussion evolves around existing and potential tax obligations caused by users' virtual activities. The main questions are if and how the income from virtual environments shall be taxed?
Also, the participants question if real-life taxes may depend on a type of game, purposes of the gaming process, type of virtual currency, and so on. The virtual taxes are assessed from a tax perspective: what are their types and commonalities and differences from the real-life taxes, if they make sense from a tax perspective, and if they may overlap with real tax obligations. The participants address the issues from the perspective of academia, industry, and regular players. The poster calls upon serious research and consciousness of real-life tax obligations of gaming experience. |
