I was an assistant organizer for the NYC RP Meetup. I also led a protest campaign against the San Diego juvenile curfew and supported the property rights of a New York City Cancer Center.

Since the Icelandic Krona recently lost about 60% of its value, I think the Icelandic people would be more inclined than before the collapse to start using gold or silver or another material for trade. Would the VAT apply to both sides of a transaction, thereby making commodity trade unworkable?
In a US state without a sales tax such as Oregon could people in that state use gold or silver to trade and avoid any tax consequences? In these states, is barter tax free?
Thanks.

Fredericksburg, VA | There would be central government tax consequences. The IRS is very insistent on taxing barter transactions that they find out about. Ditto for transactions involving commodities. |
