It is this type of exchanges from virtual currency to real world currency, generally at a profit, that caught the attention of tax authorities.The study concluded that where income from virtual worlds form part of a resident s gross income, the expenditure incurred in generating this income, by means of a trading activity, qualify for a deduction in terms of the general deduction formula, contained in section 11(a) of the Income Tax Act of South Africa.
