OECD has launched a consultation on amendments to its Model Reporting Rules for Digital Platforms, aiming to simplify compliance for gig economy and marketplace operators. The proposals include raising the low‑value goods reporting threshold from €2,000 to €3,000, removing the 30‑transaction limit, and introducing a “Related Entity” exemption. The consultation closes on 14 August 2026, with final amendments expected to align with EU DAC7 reforms for 2028.
A Milan Tax Court decision on 20 January 2026 clarified that direct sales made under consignment agreements are not subject to Italy’s Digital Services Tax (DST). The ruling confirms that the 3% DST applies only to digital intermediation activities and that companies meeting the turnover thresholds are liable. The court also upheld a refund claim for over‑EUR 1 million of over‑paid DST for the 2020‑2022 period.
