DAC7 extends the existing EU tax transparency rules to digital platforms. Broadly speaking, it requires platform operators to report information on income earned by sellers on their platforms, and Member States to automatically exchange this information. The objective is to enable local tax authorities to identify income earned by sellers through digital platforms and determine the relevant tax obligations.
