VAT in Denmark

VAT in Denmark is called moms, and the question for a founder abroad is whether to register before the first sale. Danish-established businesses may stay out below a small yearly turnover, but non-Danish companies are not covered by that threshold and must register from the day activities start. Some foreign companies also need a representative in Denmark, depending on where they are established.

Ask a firm whether it has registered foreign companies before, how it files the returns and whether it deals with cross-border invoicing: reverse charge on services to Danish businesses, sales to private customers and goods moving in or out of the EU. Ask what it needs from you each period and how soon a return can be prepared.

Frequently asked questions

Does a foreign company need Danish VAT registration?

It depends on what the company sells and to whom. A non-Danish company that supplies services or goods in Denmark must in many cases register. A firm can check your invoices and customers and tell you before you start.

Do I need a VAT representative in Denmark?

Sometimes. The rule depends on where the company is established and whether it has a fixed establishment in Denmark. Ask a firm to confirm whether you need one and whether it can act as representative.

Can a firm file my VAT return in English?

Yes, often. Thirteen of the 14 firms on this page work in English. Ask whether you receive the draft return in English and who submits the filing.
