POS exports in Denmark: what you need to know

Transactions conducted through POS systems in Denmark are saved in an electronic journal. Upon request from the Tax Authority, exports from the journal need to be presented in the SAF-T cash register file. The SAF-T export file contains detailed information about a business's sales transactions, including the date and time of the transaction, the value of the transaction, and the VAT rate applied. The file also includes information about any returns, discounts, or refunds that were issued.

The Danish cash register SAF-T file was developed based on the OECD recommendations. The guidance on generating the SAF-T files via technical documents describing the creation of the SAF-T file with examples can be found on our Fiscal Portal in English here: SAF-T Cash register data – Code lists, documentation, technical description and data model
