Digital Platform Reporting
Simplifying Digital Platform Reporting (DPR) for OECD & DAC7
In the rapidly expanding digital economy, platforms that connect buyers and sellers – whether for goods, services, or rentals – play a vital role. But, with that growth comes a growing responsibility: ensuring compliance with international tax transparency standards. That’s where the Model Reporting Rules for Digital Platforms (MRDP) come in.
What Is the MRDP and Why Does It Matter?
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) developed the MRDP to standardise how digital platforms report income earned by sellers. This global framework helps tax authorities track earnings made through digital platforms, ensuring fairness between online sellers and traditional businesses.
By introducing a single reporting model, MRDP eliminates the confusion of differing local rules. It promotes cross-border cooperation, tax transparency and administrative efficiency while simplifying compliance for platform operators.
Who Needs to Report?
If you operate a platform that facilitates:
- Sale of goods
- Provision of services
- Property or vehicle rentals
– you are likely covered under these rules.
