## How VAT Applies to Digital Goods

The **standard VAT rate** in Denmark is **25%**. The registration threshold for non-resident digital sellers is **DKK 0 (non-EU)** (DKK).

Denmark applies 25% VAT to most digital services sold to consumers, including software subscriptions, cloud products, streaming access, and paid online platforms. For EU B2C digital services, destination principles apply, while B2B cross-border treatment may be reverse charged when the customer is correctly identified as a taxable person. Merchants should avoid broad "miscellaneous digital services" SKUs because Danish compliance reviews are easier when each product type has explicit tax treatment.

If your revenue model includes recurring contracts, keep tax logic consistent across renewals, plan migrations, and credits. Small mistakes in tax treatment on adjustments are a major source of filing corrections in Nordic markets.

## Registration Requirements

Non-EU providers generally need VAT registration before first taxable Danish B2C digital sales. You can use non-Union OSS to simplify EU reporting, or local Danish registration where business structure requires direct domestic filings. The authority is **Skattestyrelsen**.

The local VAT identifier is a **DK VAT number** format. Build validation and storage for this identifier in customer onboarding and invoicing systems so B2B treatment remains defensible. Timeline planning should include registration, portal access setup, and internal tax-control signoff prior to launch.

## Filing and Compliance

Denmark commonly uses **quarterly** filing for many businesses, while OSS reports are quarterly by framework. VAT returns are administered through Skattestyrelsen systems, and merchants should ensure transaction exports are period-complete and correction-aware. If your stack supports both local and OSS reporting, keep clear logic boundaries so filings do not duplicate or omit transactions.

Document location evidence, invoice and credit-note links, and adjustment rationales for at least **5 years**. Strong period-close controls should reconcile tax collected against expected tax by declaration period, not only by payout cycle.
