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.
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.
Once you have your docs ready, send in the registration form. Our compliance folks will double-check it before it goes to the tax people.
