So ... do I understand correct: it's not about VAT on the Bitcoin-Purchase (1000€ + 200€ VAT) but about VAT on the fee (10€ + 2€)? If this is it, it seems not a subjects of legal discussion that everyone who earns money with a service has to pay VAT on his income.

Yes, it all seems to be only about VAT on the fee, and not the whole transaction, which makes everything much less dramatic.

Yes, that was the disagreement in Sweden between Skatterättsnämnden and Skatteverket, whether VAT should be applied to the commission or not.

@D.H: Thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately, this is often not reported correctly.
