Tax compliance in Denmark

Tax compliance for a foreign-owned company in Denmark starts with the question of who is taxed here and on what. A Danish company pays corporation tax at 22% on taxable income, while a non-Danish business is taxed only where it has a permanent establishment, so a founder with a branch or an owned subsidiary needs different advice from a founder who sells services into the country from abroad.

Ask a firm how it prepares the corporation tax return, who deals with the Tax Agency if a question comes back, and how it handles dividend withholding when profit is paid to a parent or a shareholder abroad. Check that its profile names the entity types you use and, if the group has companies elsewhere, that it is used to working with foreign advisers.

Accountanty shows 19 firms in Denmark that handle tax compliance: 17 accounting firms and two corporate service providers. Ten are small, five medium-sized and four belong to large networks. English is offered by 18 and Danish by 17, and every one of them names foreign clients as a focus. The city pages for Copenhagen and Aarhus separate them by location, and the Denmark guide explains the registrations that come first.
