OECD MODEL REPORTING RULES FOR DIGITAL PLATFORMS: UK IMPLEMENTATION


PLATFORM OPERATORS (DUE DILIGENCE AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS) REGULATIONS 2023

UK operators of digital platforms face new due diligence, record keeping and
HMRC reporting requirements in relation to users selling goods or services on
their platforms, as the Platform Operators (Due Diligence and Reporting
Requirements) Regulations 2023 (SI 2023/817) (the Platform Operators
Regulations) came into force this month.


WHY SHOULD I READ THIS?

From 1 January 2024, operators of digital platforms which allow sellers to
connect with other users to provide services (including the rental of property
and means of transport, and personal services) or sell goods, which are resident
for tax purposes in the UK (or, in some cases, are incorporated or have their
place of management in the UK), are required to carry out due diligence in
relation to sellers which use those platforms, retain relevant records and
report information about those sellers to HMRC, under the Platform Operators
(Due Diligence and Reporting Requirements) Regulations 2023 (SI 2023/817) (the
“Platform Operators Regulations”). HMRC will then share that information with
tax authorities in jurisdictions with which the UK has an agreement or
arrangement in force for the automatic exchange of such reportable information.

The Platform Operators Regulations implement the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Model Rules for “Reporting by Platform
Operators with respect to Sellers in the Sharing and Gig Economy” (the “OECD
Model Rules”). The purpose of the OECD Model Rules is to ensure tax
administrations receive information about activities facilitated by digital
platforms, which may not always be visible to tax authorities or self-reported
by taxpayers, in light of the rapid growth of the digital economy.

In the European Union (“EU”), similar rules were implemented by way of Council
Directive (EU) 2021/514 (“DAC 7”) which amended Directive 2011/16/EU on
administrative cooperation in the field of taxation. DAC 7 came into effect in
the EU on 1 January 2023, with Member States required to transpose the relevant
amendments into their national law by 31 December 2022.

In this briefing, we summarise the key features of the Platform Operators
Regulations and their impact on affected businesses.


WHAT SHOULD I DO TO COMPLY WITH THE PLATFORM OPERATORS REGULATIONS?

Reporting platform operators

The due diligence, record-keeping and reporting obligations in the Platform
Operators Regulations apply to “reporting platform operators” (“RPOs”).

A “platform” is widely defined and includes any software (including websites and
applications) accessible by users and allowing sellers to be connected to other
users for the provision of  “Relevant Services” or the sale of goods, directly
or indirectly, to such users (together “Relevant Activities”).

Relevant Services for these purposes are:

 * the rental of immovable property or a means of transport; or
 * the provision of “Personal  Services”, which are defined in the OECD Model
   Rules but which HMRC indicate (in their International Exchange of Information
   Manual at IEIM901510) are  services “involving time or task-based work
   performed by one or more individuals at the request of a user, unless such a
   service is purely ancillary to the overall transaction”).

The operations of a relevant platform may also include the collection and
payment of consideration in respect of relevant activities, but the term
“platform” does not include software exclusively allowing the processing of
payments in relation to Relevant Activities, listing or advertising in relation
to Relevant Activities, or redirecting or transferring of users to a platform
without any further intervention in the provision of Relevant Services or the
sale of goods. HMRC note in their International Exchange of Information Manual
(at IEIM901100) that “an integral part of the Platform definition is that
registered, third party Sellers need to be connected to users via the Platform
to complete the transaction” and that “Where software facilitates the provision
of goods or services, the degree of facilitation is not important. Software will
be treated as a Platform if it enables any connection between Sellers and their
customers and therefore facilitates the provision of goods or services”.

A ”Platform Operator” is an entity that contracts with sellers to make available
all or part of a platform to such sellers.

For the purpose of the Platform Operators Regulations, an RPO is a non-excluded
platform operator which is resident for tax purposes in the UK or, where a
platform operator does not have a residence for tax purposes, is either
incorporated under the laws of the UK or has its place of management (including
effective management) in the UK.

Excluded platform operators are those whose entire business model is such that
they do not allow sellers to derive a profit from the payments received by the
sellers in connection with relevant activities (the amount of which is known or
reasonably knowable by the platform operator), or they do not have any
reportable sellers (see below).

Under DAC 7, the definition of an RPO is drawn more widely, and a platform
operator may be brought within the scope of a Member State’s reporting
obligations simply by facilitating the activities of sellers which are resident
in that Member State; in contrast, the UK brings only UK tax resident and, in
some cases, UK incorporated and UK managed taxpayers within the scope of the
Platform Operators Regulations, as the extended definition of an RPO (see Annex
A of the OECD Model Rules) was not imported into UK law.

Reportable sellers

Among other obligations under the Platform Operators Regulations, RPOs are
required to identify and report on “Reportable Sellers”.

A Reportable Seller is any non-excluded active seller (see below) that is;
resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction; provides relevant services for the rental
of immovable property located in a Reportable Jurisdiction; or is paid or
credited consideration in connection with such services for the rental of
immoveable property. A Reportable Jurisdiction is the UK or any partner
jurisdiction (which it is understood will be listed in a notice published by
HMRC in due course).

An active seller is any seller that either provides relevant services or sells
goods during a reportable period (i.e. a calendar year with respect to which a
platform operator is an RPO) or is paid or credited consideration in connection
with relevant activities during a reportable period.

An excluded seller is any seller:

 * that is an entity for which the platform operator facilitated more than 2,000
   relevant services for the rental of immovable property in respect of a
   property listing during the reportable period;
 * that is a governmental entity;
 * that is an entity the stock of which is regularly traded on an established
   securities market (or which is related to such a traded entity); or
 * for which the platform operator solely facilitated less than 30 relevant
   activities for the sale of goods and for which the total amount of
   consideration paid or credited did not exceed 2,000 EUR during the reportable
   period.

Due diligence, record-keeping and reporting obligations

RPOs must establish and maintain procedures that are designed to do the
following, applying the due diligence procedures set out in Section II of the
OECD Model Rules:

 * collect information about sellers (whether individuals or entities) and
   property listings (if applicable);
 * verify the information collected; and
 * identify Reportable Sellers in respect of each reportable period.

An RPO must keep a record of the steps taken to comply with these requirements
and the information collected in the course of applying the relevant due
diligence procedures; these records must be kept for a period of five years
beginning with the day after the end of the reportable period to which they
relate. The RPO is also expected to verify that information, using information
which is available to that RPO or publicly available.

For each reportable period, an RPO must make a report to HMRC setting out
certain information relating to the Reportable Sellers which have utilised the
platform during the reportable period, on or before 31 January following the end
of the reportable period. A platform operator that wishes to rely upon an
exemption for excluded platform operators must give notice to HMRC by no later
than 31 January following the end of the first reportable period for which the
platform operator relies on such exemption.

Amongst other information, the report provided by the RPO to HMRC must include
the following in relation to each Reportable Seller:

 * for individual sellers: full name (including middle names); primary address
   (i.e. primary residence); Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) issued to
   the seller and its jurisdiction of issuance; and date of birth (for UK
   resident sellers, the TIN  will normally be the seller’s National Insurance
   Number);
 * for entity sellers: the legal name of the entity; its registered address;
   TIN(s) issued to the seller and the jurisdiction in which it was issued; and
   company registration number (for UK sellers, the TIN will be its company
   registration number); and
 * for all sellers:
   * any other available TIN(s) along with the jurisdiction of issuance (for
     example a VAT registration number);
   * the jurisdiction of residence of the seller;
   * the total consideration paid or credited to the seller during the
     reportable period, broken down on a quarterly basis, and the number of
     relevant activities undertaken in respect of which that consideration was
     paid or credited;
   * any fees, commissions or taxes withheld or charged by the RPO; and
   * where required, and where available to the RPO, the financial account
     identifiers in relation to which consideration was paid or credited, and
     where different from the name of the seller being reported, the name of the
     holder of the financial account and any other identifying information
     available to the RPO in relation to that account holder.

Where an RPO must make a report for a reportable period including information in
respect of a reportable seller, the RPO must provide that reportable seller with
that information by no later than 31 January following the end of the reportable
period.

An RPO is not required to make a report to HMRC where the RPO reasonably
believes that another platform operator is required to, and will, make a report
which contains the relevant information to HMRC or the tax authority of a
partner jurisdiction under substantially similar rules.


WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PLATFORM OPERATORS REGULATIONS?

The Platform Operators Regulations were made on 18 July 2023 and come into force
on 1 January 2024. The first reports must therefore be submitted to HMRC by 31
January 2025 in relation to the reportable period from 1 January 2024 to 31
December 2024. It is anticipated that HMRC will set up a “Platform Reporting
Service” which RPOs will be required to sign up to and use to make reports. The
format of reports will follow the XML schema which has been developed and
published by the OECD.

Platform operators should make an assessment now regarding whether they are in
scope of the Platform Operators Regulations and, if so, ensure they comply with
the new rules by collecting and verifying information and preparing to make
reports by 31 January 2025.

The Platform Operators Regulations impose financial penalties in respect of the
following:

 * late reports to HMRC by an RPO (a penalty not exceeding £5,000 and, if the
   failure continues after the issue of a penalty notice, further daily
   penalties not exceeding £600);
 * failure by an RPO to provide information to reportable sellers (a penalty not
   exceeding £5,000 for each reportable period in respect of which one or more
   failures have occurred, and if any of the failures continue after the issue
   of a penalty notice, further daily penalties not exceeding £600);
 * failure by a person to provide (within a reasonably required period of at
   least 30 days) information and documents specified by written notice which
   are reasonably required by an HMRC officer who reasonably suspects the person
   is an RPO, in order to determine whether or not the obligations under the
   Platform Operators Regulations have been complied with (a penalty not
   exceeding £5,000 and, if the failure continues after the issue of a penalty
   notice, further daily penalties not exceeding £600);
 * failure by an RPO to comply with record-keeping requirements (a penalty not
   exceeding £5,000 for each reportable period in respect of which one or more
   failures have occurred);
 * failure by an RPO to notify HMRC that it is an RPO and failure by a platform
   operator to notify HMRC that it relies on the excluded platform operator
   exemption (in both cases, a penalty not exceeding £1,000);
 * failure by an RPO to apply due diligence procedures (a penalty not exceeding
   £100 for each seller in respect of which the RPO fails to apply the relevant
   due diligence procedures); and
 * inaccurate or incomplete reports by an RPO, where the inaccuracy or
   incompleteness is deliberate or due to a failure to take reasonable care, or
   the RPO discovers the inaccuracy or incompleteness some time later and fails
   to take reasonable steps to inform HMRC (penalty not exceeding £100 for each
   reportable seller in respect of which the information in the report is
   inaccurate or incomplete).

Apart from penalties for inaccurate or incomplete reports, a person is not
liable to the penalties above if they satisfy an HMRC officer or the tribunal
(as applicable) that there is a reasonable excuse for the relevant failure.

An RPO cannot be liable to penalties under any two or more of the regulations
setting out penalties for failure to comply with record-keeping requirements,
failure to apply due diligence procedures and inaccurate or incomplete reports,
in respect of the same act or omission; where this would otherwise be the case,
the RPO is liable to the penalty which is, in the opinion of an HMRC officer,
correct or appropriate in the circumstances.

HMRC’s International Exchange of Information Manual contains detailed guidance
on the reporting rules for digital platforms at IEIM900000.
