DAC6 - taking control over your tax information

Meet new mandatory disclosure rules and take oversight and control

DAC6 in a nutshell 

DAC6 is a European Directive on the mandatory reporting of cross-border arrangements involving at least one country in the European Union (EU). The directive stipulates that reporting must be made to the tax authorities of the EU jurisdictions involved in the arrangement. This signifies an important step in tax transparency in the EU. Both intermediaries (such as lawyers and tax advisors) and taxpayers have a responsibility to comply with this new obligation.

What does DAC6 mean for companies in Belgium?

 In order to be compliant, the timely and correct filing of your arrangements with the Belgian tax authorities is a must. Filing must be done via an XML file, uploaded onto the MyMinFinPro website of the Belgian tax authorities (or similar in other countries – we can support you with EU-wide reporting).

 However, the real challenge is often to take oversight on the information that will be shared as part of a DAC 6 reporting and ensure full correctness of this information. Alternatively, DAC 6 is also about documenting compliance with these new regulations.
