Background to the DAC6 Directive
The DAC6 Directive (EU) 2018/822 requires EU Member States to impose compulsory reporting obligations on intermediaries and taxpayers in relation to cross-border tax arrangements.
DAC6 - New obligation to report cross-border arrangements to the tax administrator
The amendment to Act on International Assistance and Cooperation in Tax Administration introduces new obligation for taxpayers who use qualifying cross-border arrangements to report such arrangements as of 1 January 2021.
The Tax Alert outlines the new obligations, as well as hallmarks used to determine whether or not an arrangement has to be reported.
We also focus on:
- person liable to report,
- the obligations of the intermediary,
- penalties for non-compliance,
- areas in which we can assist you.

The challenges of implementing the Directive
In addition to the time and expertise-related problems currently associated with the DAC6 Directive, companies also face a multitude of challenges as regards the proper fulfilment of their compliance obligations.
DAC6 – Proposal for postponing reporting deadlines
On 8 May 2020, the European Commission published a proposal to amend the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (2011/16/EU), last amended by the DAC6 Directive, and therefore defer the deadlines of the reporting obligation due to the COVID-19 pandemic burden by three months. The proposal is expected to appear on the agenda of the next ECOFIN meeting on 19 May 2020.
