What is DAC7?
DAC7 refers to EU rules that require digital platforms (like marketplaces) to collect, verify, and report certain information about sellers who use the platform. The goal is greater tax transparency: tax authorities can see who is selling, where they are established, and relevant payment flows. In EU law this builds on Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative cooperation in taxation, amended in particular by Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 of 22 March 2021 — the amendment package is what people usually mean by “DAC7”.
The Oblist must comply with these obligations for sellers who fall in scope.

Why does The Oblist ask me for this information?
If you are in scope, French law requires The Oblist (as platform operator) to transmit your seller reporting data to the French tax administration (DGFiP) for each reporting year. We can only do that if the information you provide is complete and accurate. That is why we ask you to confirm or update your details in the DAC7 compliance section of your vendor account.
Who does this concern?
This process applies to sellers who are in scope for a given year. In practice, on The Oblist, monitoring is focused on sellers who are established or resident in the EU and whose paid payouts on the platform exceed the annual thresholds set for that year (for example: at least 30 transactions and at least €2,000 in gross paid payout volume over the calendar year — thresholds used for monitoring may be updated; the portal will reflect your status).
If you are not in scope, you will generally not be asked to complete this flow.
What do I need to do on The Oblist?
Open Account → DAC7 compliance (or follow the link from the email / banner we send you).
Review the profile type (individual vs entity) we detect from your account.
Complete the steps: tax identity, bank details (IBAN / BIC) where required, and submit.
If our team asks for a correction, update the indicated fields and submit again before the deadline shown in your account.
Important: deadlines and account restrictions (for example temporary suspension if information is overdue) are communicated in the portal and by email so you can act in time.
Is my data secure?
Sensitive data such as your IBAN is handled according to our security practices (including encryption where applicable). Only authorised internal teams access what they need for compliance and support.
Who can I contact?
If you have questions about your Oblist account or the form, contact accounting@oblist.com (or the address shown in your DAC7 emails). For general tax advice (how to declare income, interpret your own tax situation), you should speak to your own tax advisor or the tax administration in your country.
