What DAC7 means for your agency
Since 2024, fans platforms report creator earnings directly
to EU tax authorities. Every payout is now visible. Your payment
infrastructure needs to match.
Payouts must match what the model receives
Full traceability from platform to account.
No discrepancies, no reporting gaps.
Splits must be documented and auditable
Every transaction recorded: who paid, how much, on what basis.
Accessible for tax review at any time.
How model payouts are split between the creator and the agency - automatically
01
Documented splits reduce the creator's taxable base — income tax is levied on net profit, not gross payout
02
Automated commission routing proves independent contractor status — reducing reclassification risk (e.g. Scheinselbstständigkeit in Germany, travail dissimulé in France)
03
Clear transaction records satisfy DAC7 cross-referencing and protect both agency and creator in a tax audit
Your commission isn't a cost. It's a tax shield — but only if it's documented.

What agencies and models say
I was tired of chasing models for payments. I didn't want to track who sent what and who forgot. I needed an automated solution — and Blackcat was the best fit.

If you want to scale, you need to play by the rules. I realised that regulations aren't a burden — they help when you understand them. Blackcat reduced our operational load and risk. Now we're always audit-ready, and I spend my earnings with confidence.
Agency owner, EU · 10+ models
I wanted to focus on content, not on reporting and taxes. Especially when my income started growing. My agency recommended this solution — now I feel calm about my obligations.
