Insights on VAT

Why is VAT compliance important?

Value added tax (VAT) generally applies to all supplies of goods and services in Denmark. The standard local 25% VAT rate thereby represents a substantial financial impact on most transactions.

VAT compliance is essential for businesses, particularly in Denmark, where unpaid VAT can result in a high annual interest rate of 12.60% (2025). Accurate and timely VAT returns help businesses stay compliant, avoiding costly fines and penalties, while ensuring financial stability and smooth operations by reducing the risk of audits or investigations by the Tax Authorities.

For finance and tax directors, managing VAT risk and its impact on cash flow can be challenging. With our services, you can streamline your compliance processes and ensure accuracy and efficiency in all your indirect tax related reporting. From VAT returns to EC Sales List and Intrastat reports, our team is dedicated to provide you with comprehensive support tailored to your business needs.
