Do you know what exactly are they appealing for?
It is to be able to tax commissions earned by exchanges as if it was a taxable service, or is it because they want bitcoins units themselves to be subject to VAT like a consumption good?
The former would be bad, but well, it's just the same think for every kind of service. But the latter is much more catastrophic.

Sorry for the slow response. I received the appeal in the mail today and I have just skimmed through it but it seems to be about the commission. Skatteverket writes that they would like the Supreme Administrative Court to get a decision from the EU court to clarify this. So I guess that it will take a while but if we get a decision from the EU then that's a good thing, not only for Swedes.
