The consultation proposes expanding digital platform operators’ reporting obligations to the Finnish Tax Administration for sales and rentals.
Finland’s Ministry of Finance has initiated a public consultation on 25 June 2025 pertaining to the proposed amendments to the law implementing the Amending Directive to the 2011 Directive on Administrative Cooperation (2021/514) (DAC7), effective from 1 January 2026.
The proposal seeks to expand digital platform operators’ reporting obligations to the Finnish Tax Administration. It covers sales and rental transactions involving sellers in EU Member States or properties (residential, commercial, parking spaces, immovable) located in the EU. It also includes similar reporting for sellers or properties in non-EU jurisdictions committed to information exchange with Finland.
The proposal aims to enable Finland to participate in the OECD’s automatic exchange of information on income from digital platform sales and rentals.
DAC7, an extension of Council Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative tax cooperation, introduces the EU Data Exchange Directive for the Digital Platform Economy. It mandates that reporting platform operators collect, verify, and report data on sellers engaging in relevant activities via their platforms.
Comments on the proposed amendments are open until 15 August 2025.
