How to use this denmark invoice

  1. Add your business name, address and CVR number in the “Tax / VAT ID” field.
  2. Add your client, and their CVR or EU VAT number for business sales.
  3. List goods or services and keep moms at 25%.
  4. Add your bank registration and account number, or your FIK (+71) payment line, in the notes.
  5. Download the PDF, or use an e-invoice for public buyers.

What a Danish invoice must include

  • Issue date and a unique sequential number.
  • Your CVR number (which is also your VAT number; in EU trade add DK in front).
  • Seller and buyer names and addresses.
  • Quantity and nature of the goods or services, and the date of supply.
  • Amount excluding VAT, the moms rate (25%) and moms amount.

Denmark has a single standard rate of 25% with no reduced rates, though some supplies are exempt. Businesses with turnover under DKK 50,000 over 12 months do not have to register for VAT; check with Skattestyrelsen. Keep invoices for five years after the end of the financial year.

Paying in Denmark: FIK and bank transfer

Danish customers pay by bank transfer to a registration number and account number, or with a FIK payment line (“+71” card with a payment ID and your creditor number), which their bank reads automatically. MobilePay is common for small amounts. Short terms are normal: 8 or 14 days is common, and 30 days is the default between businesses when nothing is agreed.

Public sector: NemHandel and OIOUBL

Invoices to Danish public authorities must be electronic, sent through NemHandel in OIOUBL format or via Peppol (Peppol BIS 3.0), with the authority’s EAN/GLN number. Invoiceferry can download your invoice as Peppol BIS 3.0 (XML), but it does not send it to NemHandel or Peppol; use a provider or the public invoicing portal. Denmark’s bookkeeping law also requires many businesses to use a registered digital bookkeeping system; check the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) for your deadline.

Line items
Tax, discount & shipping
Tax
More: pension contribution, recargo, ROT/RUT

Italy: rivalsa INPS (4 %) or a professional fund’s contribution, added to the net amount and taxed with it.

Sweden: mark the labour lines with “Mark as labour” in each line’s ⋯ menu. The deduction is worked out on labour including VAT and taken off the amount to pay. Add the buyer’s personnummer (and fastighetsbeteckning for ROT) in the notes.

Tax is calculated after the discount; shipping is added untaxed. Withholding tax (such as Spain’s IRPF or Italy’s ritenuta d’acconto) is taken off the amount your client pays you. Tax rules differ by country — check which rates and details apply to you.

Payment & notes

Made from the invoice number and printed on the invoice, so your bank can match the payment.

Poland: VAT on a foreign-currency invoice is also shown in złoty, at the NBP average rate from the last business day before the date of supply.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is my CVR number my VAT number?

    Yes. A VAT-registered Danish business uses its CVR number for VAT. For EU sales, write it with the DK prefix.

    What is the VAT rate in Denmark?

    25% on almost everything. There are no reduced rates, but some services such as healthcare and education are exempt.

    What is FIK +71?

    A payment line with a payment ID and your creditor number that the customer types or scans in their bank. You get it through your bank’s FIK (indbetalingskort) agreement.

    Do I need to e-invoice Danish authorities?

    Yes. Public buyers require e-invoices via NemHandel (OIOUBL) or Peppol. Invoiceferry makes the Peppol XML file, but you send it through a provider.

    How long should I keep invoices?

    Five years from the end of the financial year they relate to.
