DAC6 is a European regulation aimed at reducing international tax evasion and promoting transparency. DAC6 requires lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, bankers and other “intermediaries” to report some aggressive cross-border tax arrangements. These “mandatory disclosure requirements” (MDRs) are relevant for tax transactions that cross EU borders in which it seems that the primary purpose of the transaction is a tax advantage.

Whether it is a DAC6 reporting deadline, corrective action for a whistleblowing report, or reminders for a supplier questionnaire, the timeline puts your data in context.

In order to integrate Omnitrack into other systems, a robust API is required on both ends. Data needs to be automatically inputted into Omnitrack and data should be easily exported.
In addition to exporting data to Excel, PDF and CSV, Omnitrack allows data to be exported in XML format in order to integrate with other systems.
DAC6 requires tax lawyers, accountants and tax advisers to report certain tax arrangements to local European tax advisers. This process can be automated and streamlined with Omnitrack. In order to report a DAC6 transaction, the data must conform to the tax authority’s “schema”. Omnitrack automatically manipulates the XML file to fit each tax authority specifications.

One of the most important aspects of DAC6 compliance is making sure intermediaries report transactions within the reporting deadline. Having consulted with over 50 leading international firms and HMRC, we have updated the DAC6 portal dashboard to make it easier for administrators to stay on top of deadlines. Our customisable dashboard will allow firms to easily track when a deadline is approaching, see what’s overdue and review what has been reported.
Failure to submit a report can result in a fine from HMRC. The dashboard gives a clear, customisable visual overview of the upcoming deadlines and overdue reportable transactions.

Under DAC6, special entities, known as intermediaries, must log certain cross-border transactions that may have a tax implication and where necessary report these to local tax authorities. They should therefore start registering and keeping track of all cross-border transactions. VinciWorks has consulted with 50 leading international firms, as well as HMRC, to build a best-practice DAC6 reporting solution. The portal allows intermediaries to record all cross-border transactions while guiding them on which transactions require reporting.
When it comes to DAC6 reporting, how do you make sure matters are not falling through the cracks? At matter intake, partners are unlikely to have all the details of the transaction and there needs to be a way to trigger the DAC6 review at a later time. To solve the problem, we have added a new feature that allows administrators to build flexible reminders that will trigger emails to the relevant parties when a submission needs to be reviewed or has an upcoming reporting deadline.

Rather than spending hours creating and sending out long and tedious Microsoft Excel, Word or PDF forms, the Omnitrack form builder allows administrators to easily build forms with conditional logic. All the data collected from the forms can easily be aggregated into graphical charts that are updated in real-time.
Conditional logic allows administrators to easily ensure only the most relevant questions appear each time a form is being completed. For example, when completing a form for DAC6 reporting, a transaction that doesn’t involve a cross-border element between EU countries will result in considerably fewer questions in a form than a transaction that does.

On 25 May 2018, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of the European Union (ECOFIN) adopted Council Directive (EU) 2018/822, also known as the 6th Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC6), requiring tax intermediaries to report certain cross-border arrangements that contain at least one of the hallmarks defined in the Directive. The aims of DAC6 is to tackle tax evasion and avoidance, strengthen tax transparency and improve information sharing between EU Member States.
Count how many times you said the word “tax” this week. Easy? How about every time this month. Harder? All right, what about every time you said the word “tax” to a client in the last 18 months? Still confident about the number?
Now, think about every time that could have been construed as advice. What about doing transactions with other countries or thinking about tax planning measures? All of these instances might need to not only be remembered, but also recorded and reported to the national tax authority.
