Denmark VAT rates
The standard VAT-rate snapshot for Denmark is 25%, observed in VAT Engine’s TEDB source snapshot dated 2026-01-01. It is a source-backed reference point, not a legal effective-date claim or a determination of the rate for a particular supply.
Use the right context
Reduced rates, exemptions, place-of-supply rules, and product classification can change the answer. Use the dated API lookup for operational decisions and verify legal effective dates against primary authority when required.
Denmark: national sources and date context
Separate VAT from a VAT-inclusive price
The Danish Tax Agency explains that 25% VAT on a price before tax is 20% of the total price including VAT. For a sale already confirmed as subject to Denmark’s standard rate, DKK 125.00 including VAT contains DKK 100.00 before tax and DKK 25.00 VAT. Confirm the supply’s treatment before applying this arithmetic.

For goods sent from Denmark to a business in another EU country, the Danish Tax Agency requires evidence of dispatch and verification of the buyer’s VAT number to support a sale without Danish VAT. A Danish seller or warehouse alone does not establish that this 25% snapshot applies to the invoice.

Standard-rate arithmetic example
If a sale has already been confirmed as subject to the 25% standard rate, a net price of 100.00 gives the following amounts. The example uses monetary units with two decimal places; it does not classify the sale or choose its jurisdiction or legally applicable rate.

Using the Denmark snapshot
What this value answers

What it does not answer
