Digital Administrative Cooperation in Taxation (DAC7)
Digital Administrative Cooperation in Taxation (DAC7)
Discover how the Digital Administrative Cooperation in Taxation (DAC7) regulation works within the European Union (EU), and the implications it has on your business.
Getting started
DAC7 is an update to the EU's Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC), focusing on improving tax transparency and combating tax evasion by requiring digital platforms to report information on the sellers using their platforms. This information will be shared with tax authorities across the EU to ensure that online sellers are paying the appropriate taxes on their income.
DAC7 requirements
The EU is working to ensure that all businesses, regardless of their location, size, or operation, are contributing their fair share to the tax system.
The DAC7 regulation was created to close loopholes by requiring all businesses, including digital platforms, to collect and submit detailed information on their sellers and transactions to the relevant tax authorities. This includes identifying the data of sellers and details of the transactions facilitated by the platform.
This requirement allows tax authorities to effectively track and regulate online transactions.
DAC7 is based on the EU Directive and also draws on guidelines from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This directive must be adopted by EU countries by the end of 2022, with the first reporting due in 2023.
