Legislative Decree no. 32 of March 1, 2023 implemented Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 of March 22, 2021 amending Directive 2011/16/EU as regards the mandatory automatic exchange of information in tax matters. In particular, Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 introduced the mandatory automatic exchange of information declared by platform operators. The CAD7 aligned the EU framework for tax administrative cooperation with international developments in the digital and gig economy and, in particular, with the reporting and information exchange standard set out in the “Model Rules for Declarations by Platform Operators in Respect of Vendors in the Sharing and Gig Economy” published by the OECD between July 2020 and June 2021. In summary, the automatic exchange introduced by the DAC7 requires platform operators (with certain exclusion and exemption cases) to declare information relating to the exercise of the activities of renting out real estate, providing personal services, selling goods and renting out any means of transport for the purpose of receiving remuneration, with regard to Sellers resident in Italy or in another European Union member state or providing real estate rental services located in France or in another member state.
