Seems generally correct at the first sight, but to be more sure about it, I would like to read an analysis by an economist who is able to consider more side effects than I am aware of.

The specific impact on society could also depend on many small details, like how exactly is the tax specified, what exceptions are there, how exactly the tax must be documented and paid, in international business how is it decided which government will get the tax, etc.

For example if A must pay 1% tax when selling something to B, and then B must pay 1% tax when selling the same thing to C, would it be possible to create some arbitrage system that would convert it to only one transaction from A to C, thus avoiding paying half of the tax? What if people only did business with virtual dollars, and once in a month converted those virtual dollars to the real dollars, paying the 1% tax only for real dollars that change hands? Would such system allow to replicate the current nanosecond stock trading, making this tax mostly meaningless?

On the hand, if the law would tax every virtual currency, it could end with World of Warcraft players having to include every XP gained for killing a murloc into their tax report. Perhaps a tax expert would be required to estimate the value of LW karma in dollars, too.
