L’economia digitale e il metaverso hanno favorito la diffusione di nuove attività dematerializzate, il cui dato unificante è costituito dall’essenza digitale, generando nuove manifestazioni di ricchezza da assoggettare ad imposizione. Le implicazioni di natura giuridica ed economica sono evidenti, in ragione delle difficoltà anche di ordine applicativo, accentuate dalle attenzioni che i principali colossi della rete hanno iniziato a riversare in questo ambito in continua espansione. Dal punto di vista tributario, le nuove forme di creazione del valore, affidate all’universo digitale e pervase da transazioni ad alta frequenza, pongono all’interprete l’alternativa tra la verifica di adattabilità del tradizionale strumentario giuridico alla realtà sottostante e l’individuazione di moderne metodologie e di avanzati modelli concettuali in grado di elaborare nuovi strumenti di prelievo e di dare vita ad una fiscalità del mondo virtuale. L’auspicio è che siano introdotte regole fiscali eque, moderne e condivise per affrontare le sfide poste dalla modernità, in modo da favorire gli investimenti e la crescita in un’ottica redistributiva della ricchezza.

Abstract
The digital economy and the metaverse have favored the diffusion of new dematerialized goods, whose unifying datum is constituted by the digital essence, generating new manifestations of wealth to be taxed. The implications of a legal and economic nature are evident, also due to the difficulties of an application nature, accentuated by the attention that the main giants of the network have begun to pour on this constantly expanding sector. From a tax point of view, the new forms of value creation, entrusted to the digital universe and pervaded by high-frequency transactions, confront the interpreter with the alternative between verifying the adaptability of traditional legal instruments to the underlying reality and identifying the modern methodologies and advanced conceptual models capable of developing new collection tools and giving life to a taxation of the virtual world. The hope is that fair, modern and shared tax rules will be introduced to address the challenges posed by modernity, in order to encourage investment and growth with a view to redistributing wealth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
