# DAC7 and platform reporting

> DAC7 and platform reporting, ready to file. Collected at onboarding. Exported on demand.

## What is DAC7?
DAC7 is an EU directive that requires digital platform operators to report what sellers earn through their platforms to tax authorities. It has applied since 1 January 2023.

The UK introduced matching platform reporting rules from 1 January 2024.

## Does it apply to you?
That depends on your model. Platforms that let creators sell services to third parties are most likely in scope.

## What has to be reported
- Who the creator is, including their tax identification number
- Where they are resident
- What they earned, and when
- The account they were paid into

StrideHQ collects what these rules need during [creator onboarding](https://stridehq.ai/creator-onboarding.md), before anyone is paid.

## How StrideHQ handles DAC7
1. **Collected at onboarding.** Identity details, tax IDs and residency gathered in the creator's onboarding link.
2. **Jurisdictions mapped.** Every creator tagged with the country that needs to hear about their earnings.
3. **Export when you need it.** Reporting data exported in one click.

StrideHQ automates compliance work. It doesn't replace professional tax or legal advice.
