Working-day roll on the 31 January date 31 January 2026 fell on a Saturday and 31 January 2027 falls on a Sunday, so the DAC7 due date moves to the next working day (Germany applies this under Fiscal Code s.108(3) AO). The clock returns the rolled date, not the calendar date.
Penalty ceiling for 7 reporting states DAC7 penalties are set nationally, not by the directive, so the ceiling swings from EUR 19,045 in Ireland to EUR 1,030,000 in the Netherlands. Pick the state and the clock uses that state's amounts.
Daily accrual for Ireland and the UK Ireland adds EUR 2,535 per day and the UK MRDP adds GBP 600 per day for as long as the return is outstanding, so the exposure grows every day you do not file. The clock multiplies by the real day count.
Penalty per reporting entity, not per group The ceiling applies per report. A group running three reporting platform entities files three reports and carries three ceilings. The clock multiplies the fixed penalty by the number of entities you file for.
Incomplete-return exposure when you file on time Filing by the deadline does not clear you if seller TIN or VAT records are unverified. Ireland s.898O attaches the same penalty to an incorrect or incomplete return, so the clock keeps the exposure live when unverified records are above zero.
Exposure per reportable seller Divides the total exposure by your reportable seller count so the number can be compared against the cost of verifying those records, which is the decision finance teams actually have to make.
