Penalties in Denmark for Non-Compliance with Digital Sales Registration Requirements

From January 1st, more businesses in Denmark are bound by the fiscalization regulation and have to be able to prove that their digital sales registration systems (POS) meet certain requirements. Let's explore further about this.

The Danish Tax Agency has underscored the severity of non-compliance by introducing escalating fines for businesses found to be in violation during routine inspections.

• First Visit: In the event of a non-compliant digital sales registration system during the initial inspection, a penalty of DKK 10,000 (€1,344) will be imposed.
• Second Visit: Persistent non-adherence will result in a steeper fine of DKK 20,000 (€2,688) upon the second inspection.
• Third Visit: For businesses that continue to neglect the regulations, the penalty escalates to DKK 30,000 (€4,032) during the third inspection.

Furthermore, the repercussions extend beyond one-time fines. Companies failing to meet the digital sales registration system requirements may also face daily penalties until compliance is achieved. These daily fines start at a minimum of DKK 1,000 (€134), emphasizing the continuous financial strain businesses could endure if they remain non-compliant.
