In this tutorial you will learn how to file your DAC7 return through the Lappa platform.
DAC7 reporting is available in the “Reports” section. Start by entering your business name and selecting the reporting year. On the following page, you will need to provide details about your Platform Sellers.
For sellers offering goods, the following reporting thresholds apply:
- €2,000 per year;
- 30 transactions.
Merchants added via integration will already have some data pre-filled — including company name, total gross transaction amount, and transaction count. Each seller can be added individually using “Add new merchant”, or in bulk by uploading an Excel file. Natural persons can be uploaded in the same way — note that there are two types: professionals and private individuals.
Before submission, you have the option to review and edit seller information — for example, adjusting the number of transactions for a specific merchant.
Once all merchant details are complete, click “Next”. You will then be asked to select how sellers should be notified about the submitted report, as online platforms are required to inform each merchant. You can choose whether Lappa handles notifications on your behalf, or whether your platform manages this independently. If Lappa sends the notifications, simply add the email address for seller enquiries. Notifications can be reviewed or uploaded before proceeding.
The final screen presents a full summary of the return — use this to confirm that every seller is listed correctly. From here, you can:
- submit the DAC7 report directly;
- save it for later submission;
- download the report and upload it manually to the relevant tax authority portal.
After submission, the report will show a “pending” status. Once accepted by the tax office, the status will update to “submitted”. If errors are found, it will be marked as declined.
Nil DAC7 returns and corrected DAC7 returns can also be filed through Lappa.
