This paper intends to replace the debate about the current situation with regards to the taxation of robots and to summarize the main legal arguments in favor of a robot tax. In particular, since so far robots as such do not have an economic ability to pay, at least under the current state of law, the justification of a robot tax should clearly distinguish between taxing the use of robots on the one hand, and robots as such on the other hand. A more recent argument in favor of taxing robots as such has also emerged with a view to keep the integrity of the tax system and to fight against tax avoidance and fraud. In any event, the implementation of such proposal would require an international coordination.
