In what Bloomberg called a “boost” for Bitcoin, the European Court of Justice ruled this fall that the virtual currency and other cryptocurrencies can be exchanged tax-free.
The favorable decision that permits Bitcoin to be exempt from the value-added tax came after a dispute between Sweden’s tax authority and Bitcoin forum operator Daniel Hedqvist.
