VAT - Reimbursement of VAT to foreign companies
 

This explains how you can obtain a refund of VAT on goods and services purchased in Denmark.

The VAT rate in Denmark is 25%.
 

You are entitled to a refund of the VAT on goods and services to the same extent as Danish enterprises may

deduct input VAT paid on purchases of an equivalent nature. This means that you are entitled to a refund of the

total VAT paid on most of your commercial purchases except that the VAT on restaurant bills and hotel

accommodation is refunded at the rate of only 25% of the total VAT.

In other words, you may apply for a refund of Danish VAT, whether your firm is domiciled outside the EU or in other EU Member States.

You must apply for a refund of the VAT. There is no automatic refunding.
