It's less a matter of what data is passed, though that which can be made deterministic would be better so, and more a matter of how often that data must be passed.

Why not have your server respond to all move requests with the new location of the client's player?
Example:
Client A requests to move its player from (15, 15) to (15, 16). Both the current position and destination are included in the request.
The server recieves the request and determines where the player will be after attempting to move from position to ...

Let us talk time budgets.
First of all, the rate at which the server sends updates, and the rate at which the client renders don't have to match. Many games will send updates less frequently than the client renders.
With that said, the server will have some time to get the input, simulate and send the updates. Let us say, a 1/60 of a second.
Getting input ...
