To further support the ongoing development of digital sales registration solutions (POS) by suppliers, a crucial tool has been introduced—the SAF-T verification script. This script plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and compliance of SAF-T XML files generated by various systems. By scrutinizing the structure of these files, the verification script provides valuable insights, suggesting necessary fixes to align with format guidelines.
For those interested in obtaining the SAF-T verification script, the delivery process involves submitting a request to the Tax Administration’s email address, digital.salg@sktst.dk. This step ensures that stakeholders have access to this essential tool for assessing the structural integrity of their SAF-T XML files.
However, it is crucial to highlight a key aspect: the verification script, while invaluable for testing file structure, does not equate to official approval of individual suppliers' digital sales registration systems. Its primary function is to assist in identifying and rectifying structural issues within the generated files to align with the prescribed format guidelines.
