Do I need to have a permanent establishment in Denmark to be required to e-Invoice?
  • In Denmark, a permanent establishment (PE) is not required to be subject to e-invoicing and digital bookkeeping obligations. For resident companies, compliance is required once they are VAT registered and meet the applicable turnover thresholds, including the DKK 300,000 threshold (from 2026) under the Digital Bookkeeping Act.
  • For non-resident (foreign) companies, the same rules apply if they are registered for Danish VAT and exceed the turnover threshold, even if they have no fixed place of business in Denmark.
  • Any business – resident or non-resident – selling to Danish public authorities (B2G) must issue e-invoices via NemHandel in the required OIOUBL or Peppol BIS 3.0 formats, regardless of whether they have a permanent establishment.

VAT registered established and non-established businesses must comply (if their activities exceed the turnover thresholds previously mentioned). If you are not registered for VAT and have a turnover below the 300,000 DKK threshold, you may not be subject to these specific digital bookkeeping and e-invoicing mandates, but you must still adhere to general bookkeeping laws.

No specific statutory time limit. Standard practice: as soon as possible after delivery of goods/services.

Yes. Penalties depend on revenue, seriousness, and persistence of breach. Serious cases may incur criminal liability under the Danish Criminal Code.

Steps VAT IT can assist with

1. Implement a compliant Digital Accounting System (OIOUBL & Peppol BIS 3.0 capable)
2. Ensure ability to send/receive structured e-invoices, can be from a separate provider (e-invoicing) from the Digital Accounting System
3. Register with NemHandel (obtain NemHandel eID)
4. Register with Peppol (obtain Peppol ID if required)
5. Meet archiving requirements (5 years, EU/EEA storage)
