What is it?

CESOP: What you need to know

The Central Electronic System of Payment information (aka CESOP) is an EU initiative that aims to improve the collection and sharing of payment data to combat VAT fraud more effectively.

What is CESOP?

Does it affect me?

If your are a Payment Service Provider (PSP) registered in any of the EU's 27 member states the you are likely to be affected. Many banks, credit institutions, and other financial institutions that facilitate payment transactions are in scope. Under CESOP, PSPs are required to report the details of cross-border payments they process.

What do I need to do?

Make sure your firm understands its obligations and collates all the data and information required. If you handle more than 25 cross-border payments for the same payee within a calendar quarter, you must ensure this information is reported.

What's the deadline?

If your business is affected, then hopefully you're already submitting your CESOP reports. The new requirements took effect in 2024, with the first filing deadline being April 30th to report qualifying transactions in the first quarter. You are required to file quarterly within a month of the calendar quarter closing.
