DAC7 reporting

Amazon are warning EU sellers that new reporting requirements will come into effect this year. You have until the 1st of October 2023, to provide information required under the Directive on Administrative Cooperation—7th amendment (DAC7). This will apply to all Amazon sellers who:

  • Are an EU resident and
  • Generate €2,000 or more in sales or
  • Complete 30 or more transactions in the current calendar year

Realistically, this will include just about every seller on Amazon are are resident within the EU.

DAC7 requires online stores in the EU, such as Amazon, to report revenue and business information to tax authorities annually. To fully comply, Amazon must:

  1. Collect additional information such as Tax Identification Numbers (TINs), permanent establishments, from EU-based selling partners,
  2. Verify that information against the respective authorities’ databases, and
  3. Report selling partners’ financial transactions, fees, disbursements, and banking details along with due diligence data to the EU tax authorities.

If you meet the criteria above, you must provide or confirm the required information in Seller Central for each store that you sell in by the 1st of October, or, if you become eligible later, 60 days after receiving the first notification from Amazon. DAC7 requirements will apply for every future calendar year. The information you need to supply is in the following table:
