Support for increased VAT limit

The Parliament’s Finance Committee unanimously supports finance minister Jørgen Niclasen’s proposal to increase the VAT limit to DKK 50,000.

The current VAT limit of DKK 30,000 has been in place since 2006. This means that businesses or individuals that sell for less than DKK 30,000 per year are not required to be VAT registered.

Increasing this limit will be particularly helpful to private artisans and craftspeople, according to finance minister Jørgen Niclasen.

Increasing the VAT limit to DKK 50,000 will result in annual savings of DKK 300,000 for the Treasury, as many of the small businesses register higher rates of input VAT than output VAT.
