For VAT this is already defined (in the EU): wherever the purchaser is when they get their goods handed to them. If I drive over the border to Germany, I pay German taxes. If I buy online and have it shipped to the Netherlands, I pay Dutch taxes.
A digital good is handed to me wherever I am when I purchase it, so I pay taxes in that jurisdiction.
- moonchrome 4y agoThat's not a good analogy - VAT is simply added to base price at the time of purchase. Profits are entirely different - how would you account expenses for example. Not to mention various tax benefits that differ from country to county.
- ratg13 4y agoIf you sell concert tickets, would this mean that you need to book the profits in the respective countries of anyone anywhere in the world?
- Xylakant 4y agoIn case of services it’s in the country where the service is provided - thus in the location of the concert. Now, online streaming again is provided is provided in the location of the viewer, that’s a bit of a mess (used to be involved in running conferences, same thing there)
- chrisandchris 4y agoA concert ticket is not a digital good. The service is given to you at the concert itself, therefore the country in which the concert is, is the country where you will pay taxes.
