Consultation on proposed DSA Levy
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is the competent authority for Articles 30, 31 and 32 of the Digital Services Act 2024 (“DSA”), relating to consumer online platform providers (marketplaces), which allow consumers to conclude distance contracts. The CCPC will have new supervision and enforcement responsibilities in relation to online marketplaces’ compliance with rules relating to;
- Article 30 Traceability of traders,

To fund its activities as a competent authority, the Digital Services Act 2024 provides for the CCPC to impose a levy on relevant consumer online platform providers.
The CCPC has published a public consultation on its proposed DSA Levy approach and proposed Levy Order for imposing a DSA Levy for 2025.
