Who Taxes Space? New Challenges for the Space Economy
Original: Who taxes space? - new challenges for the space economy
As commercial space activity accelerates, governments and legal experts are confronting an unresolved question: which authority can tax business conducted in orbit or beyond? Existing space treaties never anticipated private companies running satellites, manufacturing in orbit, or planning lunar operations, leaving a regulatory and fiscal vacuum. The debate touches on national tax codes, international law, and how to fund shared space infrastructure, and is drawing attention from policymakers and the growing space industry.
Why now: The rapid growth of private space commerce is forcing a debate over taxation and regulation that current space law does not cover.
