The rules will require UK platform operators to collect, verify and report certain details of sellers who work on their platform to HMRC, and to provide a copy of the reported information to sellers. HMRC will exchange the information with other tax authorities and will use it to detect and tackle any non-compliance by sellers.
The draft regulations set out further details of:
actions that digital platforms will be required to take to comply with the rules; and
penalties for failing to comply with the regulations and the appeals process.
