Frequently Asked Questions:

What is DAC7?

DAC7 is a new set of tax transparency rules that applies to all digital platform operators (including Deliveroo) in the European Union (EU). It is a European Directive that came into force via local legislation from 1 January 2023. Deliveroo is required to collect, validate, revalidate and report annually certain information on partners to the tax authorities of the EU Member States. This means that the first reporting deadline will be on 31 January 2024 for partners joining the platform in 2023. Partners who joined the platform before 2023 will be included in the next year's reporting due on 31 January 2025.

The UK launched its own version of the EU's directive on 1st January 2024 (one year after the EU launch). The reporting deadline for Partners who joined the platform before 2024 will be the following year, due on 31 January 2026. However, any UK Partners who are provide their data before this will be included in the 2025 report.

For more information on what you will need to provide Deliveroo with and what information we will be sharing with the tax authorities, please go to the “What data will you be sharing” section.

Why is this happening?

The new DAC7 requirements are to improve the tax transparency around transactions that take place on digital platforms, including Deliveroo, and better the tax cooperation between the UK and EU Member States.

Who does it apply to?

These tax requirements require all European digital platforms, including Deliveroo, to collect certain data (as outlined in the table below) from the partners using their services. For Deliveroo this means all partners both newly onboarded and existing (restaurants and grocers) in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France and Italy.

How does this impact me?

Deliveroo is required to report platform user tax data and revenue to tax authorities from all partners in the UK and EU markets that we operate in - Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy.

We will ensure that this process is as simple as possible for our partners:

  • For new partners information will be collected by the Deliveroo team during the sales process in 2023

  • For existing EU partners (if you joined the platform before 2023, information can be provided by completing the DAC7 banner on your Hub homepage

  • For existing UK partners (if you joined before 2024) information can be provided by completing the DAC7 banner on your Hub homepage

However, for EU partners, If we do not receive the required information, this may result in suspended payouts and/or closure of your account on Deliveroo until you provide the required information.

​​What data will you be sharing?

The below table highlights the information Deliveroo will be sharing with tax authorities in order to meet the DAC7 requirements - the information we need to collect is split into individuals and entities dependent on your business type.

Note - for EU partners, we are only required to share transactional data from the start of 2023 onwards - we are not required to share any transactions paid/credited before 2023. For UK partners, we are only required to share transactional data from the start of 2024 onwards.
