if im not mistaken that is a picture of MS9 (shes way too purple ) and the headline says that she doesnt have to pay tax

for those of you that dont understand norwegian, this article is about the recent claims from the swedish tax office.
norway appears to be dealing with it the same way the US does (in other words, they wont do anything about it).

They just took a picture fo MA's site.
Could have been any one of them showing an avatar.

I don't pay tax either btw

I hope the UK tax office come and have a word with me ... if I could write off losses ingame to date against future RL tax liabilities I'd be laughing for the next 10 years or so I think.

There's some interesting discussion on the subject in this thread:

Mindark answers Skatteverket

(I'm too lazy to repeat everything that I wrote there)

That is MS9, it is one of the pictures she sent in when MA wanted player pictures for the website.

Yeah, let's hope the Norwegian Goverment forget all about taxing MMO's...

But I'm sure they will find a way to tax us..just give them some time

Exactly. The moment I have to pay taxes for in game earnings, I will immediately have expenses related to it. Internet connection, computer, relevant accessories, possibly even one room of my house as a home office. I can assure you that it would be in my interest for this to happen so I could offset other real life income earned and thereby lower my taxes.
