Government Tax on selling CD keys?

The basic EU VAT rules for electronically supplied services explained for
micro businesses
I believe it falls under (a) the supply of digitised products generally, including software and changes to or upgrades of software;

Best of luck on your business, friend

I believe some of the places just have like a checkbox about the VAT (considering you are in the EU that should apply to you too ) ...

Now do you choose to actually check that or try to save up on the tax is on you but you might get in trouble if you dont do so .

I never actually sold keys so i cant really tell you for sure tho , i remember it was the case when i was buying a key some time ago tho ,

I believe is less about the key themselves and more about the earning money by selling something, I do not live on EU nor do I know of their tax law, but, I'd consider selling keys the same as having a garage sale.

Here, you'd put that on Occasional Income, since it's not really a job, nor is it stable by any means.

It's up to the selling platform as they're the intermediaries between you (the seller) and the buyer to deduct the applicable sales taxes and transfer them to the tax authorities. Although you have to be rather delusional to think a single cent of the proceeds will reach the tax coffers of your country.

If you don't belong to the top sellers with a few hundred thousand keys sold I wouldn't lose much sleep over the income tax question either. Tax authorities in EU countries are understaffed and the people working there have more pressing matters to solve like the ongoing CumEx scandal for example.

Thanks a lot to all of you for the info! Closing this one <3
