Quick answer
As of January 1st, 2023, online marketplaces like Etsy are required under EU law to provide details of sellers and their transactions to EU tax authorities annually. This reporting requirement is commonly referred to as DAC 7.
Starting in January 2025, for the 2024 tax reporting year, Etsy is required to report on all EU-based sellers who meet the reporting threshold, regardless of when they joined the platform.
Etsy is required to send your information to the relevant tax authorities when:
- You complete 30 or more transactions in a calendar year with physical goods
Or
- You make €2,000 on physical goods sales after taxes and fees in a calendar year
Or
- You make any sales of made-to-order digital items in a calendar year
Sellers who don’t meet either of these thresholds within a year are exempt from reporting.
How can I see the information Etsy reports to tax authorities?
You’re provided with a PDF summary that shows the information we reported to the tax authorities by January 31st of each year. The PDF has the following information:
-
The number of sales you made
-
The total amount of your sales less fees and taxes charged to you in your local currency
- The fees on your sales as well as the tax collected by Etsy on these fees

What EU seller data is Etsy required to report under DAC 7?
The information that Etsy is required to share with EU tax authorities depends on whether you’re registered as an individual or a business entity.
Etsy is legally required to collect and verify the below information to report to tax authorities in order to comply with DAC 7. Please review and update your tax information to make sure it’s accurate for reporting.
If Etsy reaches out to you to request your information but you don’t provide it within 60 days, your shop will be put on pause via Vacation Mode. This means you won’t be able to receive new orders, and your listings won’t appear in search results on Etsy until you confirm your information.
