Course Overview

The DAC6 EU Directive aims at transparency and fairness in taxation. DAC6 applies to cross-border arrangements, which meet one or more specified characteristics (hallmarks), and which concern either more than one EU country or an EU country and a non-EU country.

The directive puts the reporting responsibility on EU-based intermediaries, a designation that is broadly interpreted to include anyone who designs, markets, organises, makes available for implementation, or manages the implementation of a reportable cross-border arrangement, or who provides aid, assistance, or advice.

The programme provides participants with a practical understanding of the DAC6 compliance framework and explains due diligence and reporting requirements. Through case studies, participants will gain experience on the reporting preparation and submission.


Training Objectives

By the end of the programme, participants will:

  • Comprehend the scope and intent of the DAC6 EU Directive

  • Understand the roles and responsibilities of intermediaries under DAC6

  • Apply due diligence procedures to assess reportability

  • Identify and interpret the DAC6 Hallmarks (Categories A-E)

  • Determine when a cross-border arrangement qualifies as reportable
