What is DAC7 reporting

The DAC7 directive is an EU rule requiring digital platforms to share information with tax authorities about how much sellers earn each year. If you run an operator platform, no matter where you are, you gotta comply if your sellers are doing biz in EU countries. The point of DAC7 tax is to keep things open and square when it comes to taxes.

DAC 7 sets firm deadlines and rules for all EU countries. Each year, businesses must:

  • Get seller and transaction info right
  • Double-check and keep it safe following EU rules
  • Put together one DAC7 tax report to send to local tax people

These standard rules help all online businesses in the EU report across borders more easily and clearly.

DAC7 reporting requirements explained for operator platform

To complete DAC7 reports, you must collect and submit seller and transaction information that complies with EU rules. This info lets tax people check if income numbers are right. It also makes sure every digital platform sticks to DAC7 tax rules across the European Union countries.

Seller identification details
Tax information
Transaction data
Property and rental details
Financial account details
Corrections or updates

Write down each seller's whole name, main address, and where they live. If it's a business, put their real name and registration number like it shows on local records.

Please provide the seller's Tax ID Number (TIN) and VAT ID, if applicable. This info aids in verifying details for DAC 7 regulations, regardless of the seller being an individual or a company.

Report how much total money each seller got paid, any fees taken out, and how many deals they made during that time.

If your digital platform (operator platform) handles rentals, write down the property address, land number, and how many days it was rented.

Add the bank info used to send money to the seller. This helps match up the money stuff with reporting requirements.

If you find mistakes after sending it, you have to send a fixed report through the EU online system before the next deadline.

Common DAC 7 compliance mistakes

Seller data is incomplete
Wrong transaction numbers
Late to send
Skipping corrections
Poor data protection
Assuming vendors do all

The filings usually fail because the Taxpayer Identification Numbers, addresses, or proof of residency are missing. Make sure the main fields are correct early on to keep your DAC7 reporting on track.

Conflicting amounts, currencies, or fees can cause problems. Double-check your exports against your payment records before sending them in.

It’s easy to miss deadlines when your data lives in many places. Set up automatic alerts to ensure your filing is submitted on time.

If you find a mistake after filing, send an update immediately. Waiting could lead to audits and penalties.

If seller data isn't secured, it can cause compliance worries beyond just taxes.Use encryption when data is stored and transferred, and limit who can access it within your EU service.

Partners can help, but you remain responsible. Make sure everyone understands their roles for policies and controls.
