DAC7 is an EU tax legislation that requires online platforms to report information about the sales and income of members to local tax authorities. Artpeers.nl BV is legally obligated to collect and report information about transactions and sellers if you fall within the specified criteria. If applicable, you must provide your tax information and complete your personal details by filling out the comprehensive registration form.
This new legislation came into effect on January 1, 2023, and reporting must be done every calendar year. The first report must be submitted by January 31, 2024 (for the calendar year 2023).
You are required to fill out the DAC7 registration form if you meet any of the following conditions:
You are required to fill out the extensive DAC7 registration form once you meet any of these conditions. This is a one-time requirement. You will receive a notification upon login and an email informing you. Until the form is completed, you cannot continue to use the Artpeers or Artpeers platforms.
No, unless. Whether your income is taxable is something Artpeers.nl BV cannot determine as it depends on your personal situation.
However: The key consideration is whether you have purchased items with the intention of making a profit. In that case, you must declare this profit (note: profit, not revenue). If you are selling online art that has been in your possession for a long time or is part of your personal collection, you will likely receive less money for it than you paid. In this case, you are not making a profit, and you do not need to report it to the Tax Authorities. If the goal is indeed to generate extra income through Artpeers and you invest in it, different rules apply. You are then an online trader.

It is also considered whether you are an entrepreneur or not. If you sell items from your own collection or because you no longer appreciate a piece of art that has been on the attic for a while, you are naturally not seen as an entrepreneur. This is more likely considered a 'hobby' than doing business. If you are really aiming for profit, there is a chance you will be seen as an entrepreneur. You can check this on the website of the Tax Authorities. It is possible that, according to the Tax Authorities, you are not an entrepreneur, but you still have to pay income tax or VAT for the online activities you do.
