A note about KYC data

As part of our client onboarding processes (KYC) we're required to collect certain data about our sellers.

DAC7 is an EU directive aimed at improving cooperation between tax authorities in EU member states, particularly by gaining insight into income from sellers via digital platforms. The directive aims to simplify tax collection by local tax authorities. Troostwijk Auctions, as an auction platform, is obliged to report data from its sellers to the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration.

The type of data we collect depends on whether the seller is an individual (private) seller or a company (business) seller.

You can learn about this here: FAQ about DAC7
