How often is VAT filed in Denmark?

This calendar shows a monthly VAT filing — 12 of them across the 2026 calendar. Each one falls on the 10th of the month. Filing frequency depends on the turnover band and the scheme a business is registered under, so a smaller business may report less often than the monthly cycle listed here. Confirm your own frequency with Skattestyrelsen.

When is the corporate income tax return due in Denmark?

Jul 1, 2026 — Corporate Income Tax — Filing Deadline. Denmark's tax year in this calendar runs January 1 to December 31, so a company on a non-calendar financial year will have different dates. Skattestyrelsen publishes the authoritative schedule.

When is the personal income tax return due in Denmark?

May 1, 2026 (Personal Income Tax Return — Filing Deadline). Extensions and agent-filed deadlines can differ; the dates above are the ones shown on this calendar.

How often are payroll and social security contributions paid in Denmark?

The calendar lists 1 paye & payroll deadline for the 2026 period — see the months listed below. Employer obligations depend on headcount and payroll size.

What does this Denmark tax calendar cover?

15 filing and payment deadlines for 2026, grouped by month: vat, corporate tax, paye & payroll and personal income tax. Each entry names the form where one applies and flags public holidays that fall near a deadline. The authority behind these dates is Skattestyrelsen.

Is this calendar official Skattestyrelsen guidance?

No. It is a plain-English summary built to help you plan, and it is not tax advice. Dates can change, and your own obligations depend on your registration, turnover and scheme. Always confirm against Skattestyrelsen before you rely on a date, and speak to a qualified adviser about your own situation.

Do EU-wide VAT rules change these Denmark dates?

The EU VAT Directive sets a common framework, but each member state keeps its own filing calendar, thresholds and rates — which is why Denmark has its own page here rather than a shared EU one. If you sell across borders, the One-Stop Shop lets you declare VAT centrally instead of registering in each country.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Hvornår er momsangivelsen forfalden i dette land?

Momsangivelsesfrister varierer efter indberetningshyppighed. Månedlige indberettere skal typisk indsende senest den 15.-25. i den følgende måned. Kvartalsvise indberettere indsender senest udgangen af måneden efter kvartalet. Kontroller altid med den lokale skattemyndighed for specifikke frister.

Hvornår er selskabsskatteangivelsen forfalden?

Selskabsskatteangivelser er generelt forfaldne inden for 5-9 måneder efter regnskabsårets afslutning. De fleste lande følger kalenderåret med frister mellem marts og september det følgende år. Forlængelser er ofte mulige.

Hvad sker der, hvis jeg overskrider en skattefrist?

Bøder for forsinket indberetning varierer efter land og skattetype. Almindelige bøder omfatter faste bøder, procentbaserede bøder af skyldig skat og daglig rentetilskrivning. Bøder stiger ofte jo længere forsinkelsen varer.

Er momsreglerne harmoniseret på tværs af EU?

Ja, EU's momsdirektiv giver en fælles ramme. Dog har hvert medlemsland en vis fleksibilitet i fastsættelsen af satser, tærskler og specifikke frister. Grænseoverskridende transaktioner inden for EU følger særlige regler herunder omvendt betalingspligt.

Skal jeg registrere mig for moms i flere EU-lande?

Hvis du sælger varer eller tjenesteydelser til kunder i andre EU-lande, skal du muligvis registrere dig for moms i hvert land eller bruge One-Stop Shop (OSS)-ordningen til at angive moms centralt. Tærsklen for fjernsalg varierer fra land til land.

Before you file or pay

How to verify a Denmark tax deadline

1. Match the obligation. Check the tax type, period, registration and filing method. A VAT, payroll or income-tax date may not apply to every taxpayer.

2. Check the live notice. Public holidays, agent arrangements, extensions and account-specific instructions can change the operational due date.

3. Keep proof. Save the submission receipt and payment confirmation. Filing and paying can be separate actions with separate cut-off times.

Why this matters: missed dates can lead to late filing charges, interest, loss of a relief or an avoidable compliance review. This page is a planning aid, not a legal determination. It was last content-reviewed on 2026-08-14; verify the live rule with Skattestyrelsen before acting.
