In this context, tax incentives have become a key tool for promoting urban development projects that address these issues.
The rise of microtransactions and new forms of economic interaction on digital platforms, video games, social networks, metaverses, and apps has generated a vibrant but poorly regulated economy from a tax perspective. These small transactions (from pennies to a few dollars) generate billions in revenue for technology and entertainment companies, but raise questions: How are they taxed? Who should pay taxes?

Space, for decades the exclusive domain of state agencies, has become a new commercial arena. Companies like Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, and Axiom, among others, already offer space travel (suborbital and orbital tourism, stays on private space stations), and a space economy is emerging that includes asteroid mining, resource extraction on celestial bodies, and satellite services such as mega-constellations. This raises unprecedented tax questions: How should these activities be taxed? What laws apply when revenues, passengers, and resources are located “outside” the territorial boundaries of any state?
