1. What is going live on 1 January 2024?
Effective 1 January 2024, the European Union is introducing a new tax reporting requirement for payment service providers (PSPs), including card issuers, acquirers or other businesses processing payments.
As of this date, PSPs must monitor their merchants in relation to cross-border payments and report related payment data to the EU Member States. The data will be collected and centralised in a new EU database called the Central Electronic System of Payment information (CESOP), where it will be stored, aggregated and cross-checked with other EU databases. All information in CESOP will be made available to anti-fraud experts of the EU Member States.
