Are there people here who conduct their investments in Pokémon as a business, for example, to offset VAT? If, as a Pokémon trader, you hold boxes for, say, 5 years because they "don't sell" at purchase, you can write off the VAT against the received VAT. It seems that at the time of sale, you would then have to pay VAT. And on the made "profit," income tax depends on your other income. Now I'm wondering if this is interesting; as a private investor, you usually don't pay income tax (although it may not be entirely allowed). I'm hesitant about whether to make these investments as a business. Anyone familiar with this or has knowledge that can provide advice? This relates to the tax system in the Netherlands.
