VAT Treatment of DAOs, Protocols, and Blockchain: Recent Developments and Implications

  • FTA considers cybernetic, self-managed blockchain systems and DAOs as VAT-relevant subjects
  • All VAT-relevant subjects can be considered as recipients or suppliers for VAT purposes
  • Automated software protocols that carry out pre-programmed actions do not have legal subjectivity according to earlier FTA information
  • FTA now determines recipient of supply in cases of supplies to blockchain or DTL protocols based on party with power of disposal over the protocol
  • Protocols controlled by decentralised group of persons or single person are considered recipients of service by FTA
  • Remuneration for service must be settled with FTA depending on type of service and time at which service is provided
