VAT, customs duties and indirect taxes

VAT, customs duties and indirect taxes play an ever increasing role for Danish and foreign businesses and may amount to significant expenses.

However, it is also an area affected by constant changes and adaptations to the already complex legislation and requiring a thorough knowledge of e.g. Community law.

In connection with the start-up of, and engagement in, new activities and in connection with the day-to-day operation it is therefore relevant for all businesses to ensure that they comply with current rules and regulations without cheating themselves, their customers or business partners.
