How this is calculated

Choose whether to add VAT (moms) to a net amount or remove it from a VAT-inclusive gross amount.
To add VAT: multiply the net by 1.25 (the 25% standard rate). To remove VAT: divide the gross by 1.25.
Denmark has a single VAT rate, so there is no reduced-rate option to select.

FAQ

What is the VAT rate in Denmark in 2026?

Denmark applies a single standard VAT rate of 25% (moms). Unlike most EU countries, it has no reduced rates -- the same 25% applies to nearly all goods and services, including food. A few supplies (such as certain newspapers) are zero-rated or exempt.

Does Denmark have a reduced VAT rate for food or essentials?

No. Denmark is unusual in charging the full 25% on food and most essentials, with no reduced tier. Some specific supplies are exempt (for example certain financial, healthcare and education services) or zero-rated (such as newspapers), but there is no general reduced rate.

When must a business register for VAT in Denmark?

A business must register for moms once its taxable turnover exceeds the statutory annual threshold. Below it, registration is voluntary. Confirm the current threshold and filing rules with SKAT (skat.dk).
