Data required for DAC7 registration

Platform operator details
Tax identification data
Responsible person details
Platform description
Supporting documents

Give your company's legal name, official address, and how to reach you through email, phone, or a designated person. Also, tell us your platform's name and where it mainly does business within the EU if that applies.

Share your Tax Identification Number (TIN) and VAT ID, along with the country that issued them. If you're a company outside the EU, you might also need to share your business registration or incorporation number.

Provide the full name, job title, and email of the person in charge of tax matters or who's been appointed to talk to EU authorities.

Briefly describe what your platform does – like selling stuff, rentals, or freelance services – also mention which countries your users or sellers are in.

You might need to attach documents like your certificate of incorporation, proof of tax registration, and something that shows you're the platform operator who has to report this stuff. This depends on the specific country.

Responsibility for non-compliance with DAC7

If you don’t follow the EU’s DAC7 rules, your platform could get hit with fines and a bad name. The rules spell out what digital platforms and their tax people need to do when it comes to signing up, gathering info, and reporting taxes.

Money Troubles
How it Affects You
Everyone's Responsible

Most EU countries will fine you if your DAC7 reports are late or missing. In some cases, you could pay up to 2% of your platform's yearly income, or a set amount for each seller you didn't report. You can also get fined if you send in reports that aren't complete or have mistakes.

Platforms that miss the DAC7 reporting deadlines might not be able to get into tax portals, plus they could face extra reviews and closer looks from local governments.

The platform and its tax manager are both responsible for getting taxes reported on time and correctly. Even if you use another company to help, the platform is still legally responsible.

Frequently asked questions

What is DAC 7

DAC7, also called EU DAC7, is a set of European rules about working together that started on January 1, 2023. It makes taxes on online sales clearer. Digital platforms now have to gather info on how much sellers make and share it with tax people when they do their tax reports.

What do digital platforms need to do to register 7 DAC

To follow DAC7 rules, platforms need to sign up with their local tax people, giving them the lowdown on their business. They also have to share seller details like names, addresses, and VAT IDs. Using a DAC7 platform like Lovat can make this easier, helping tax managers get everything filed right and on time.

Who needs DAC 7 compliance

If you’re running a digital platform that lets people sell stuff in the EU, you gotta follow the EU’s DAC7 rules. This applies to marketplaces, booking sites, and service platforms dealing with transactions that cross borders.

What is DAC 7 reporting

DAC7 reporting involves gathering and sending seller income info to EU tax people. The country where the platform is registered shares this data with the tax offices where the sellers live. An automated digital fix for DAC7 can cut down on mistakes and make things faster.

Which digital platforms need to comply with DAC 7

DAC7 tax rules in the EU apply to digital platforms that let people and businesses sell stuff there. This includes:

  • Marketplaces such as eBay, Etsy, Amazon, and Alibaba
  • Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and GoFundMe
  • Booking platforms for rentals, such as Airbnb and Booking.com
  • Platforms for personal services like Uber and Lyft
What are the consequences for platform operators for not registering

Compliance with DAC7 is mandatory for all digital platforms that enable individuals and businesses to sell goods and services in the EU. Not following DAC7 rules can get you fined up to 2% of what your platform makes each year.

Do small platforms need to register under DAC 7

Yes, DAC7 applies to all digital platforms that let sellers make money from goods, services, or property rentals in the EU, no matter how big or small they are. There are no special rules for small platforms. If your platform is outside the EU but handles deals with EU sellers or properties in the EU, you still have to register and report under DAC7.

The only exceptions are for platforms that just process payments, advertise stuff without closing deals, or send users to other sites.

Does DAC7 reporting take the place of normal tax stuff

Nope. DAC7 reporting is different from your usual VAT, corporate income tax, or sales tax filings. It’s all about being open between countries. Sending in your DAC7 report doesn’t mean you don’t have to do your other tax reports. Your company or sellers might still have other tax duties. You gotta file each report on its own with the right people.

When does the 7 DAC report need to be in each year

The DAC7 report is due January 31 of the year after the period it covers.

So, data from 2024 has to be reported by January 31, 2025. You also need to give that same info to each seller during that time.

How you actually send it in might be a little different depending on the country – like using their own online DAC7 sites or uploading XML files.

Mistakes happen in DAC 7 reports, can you fix them

Yep. If you find something wrong after sending the report, fix it ASAP.

To fix errors, send an updated file with the correct info, and be sure to point to the first report you sent. Most systems have a spot for the changed records.

Fixing errors fast keeps you from getting fined for wrong or missing info under DAC7.
