Frequently asked questions about VAT in Denmark

When was the VAT rate last changed in Denmark?

VAT rates in Denmark are reviewed regularly by the national government. The current standard rate of 25% has been in effect since the last official update. Check the European Commission VAT database for historical rate changes.

Do I need to register for VAT in Denmark?

If you exceed the VAT registration threshold in Denmark, you must register for VAT. For cross-border B2B services, you may need to register depending on the type of supply and whether the reverse charge mechanism applies.

What about reverse charge for cross-border sales to Denmark?

If you sell services to a VAT-registered business in Denmark, you typically apply the reverse charge mechanism. The buyer accounts for VAT instead of you. This applies to most B2B services within the EU.
