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.
