Waar Denmark past in een structuur

Gebruikelijke rol · Reputable top holding company

A Danish ApS (private company) sits on top of the group as its holding company. Dividends from subsidiaries and gains on selling them come in exempt under the participation exemption, even though Denmark's company tax is 22%. Its value is reputation: buyers, banks and regulators accept it without the hassle an opaque holding company causes in a deal.

Waar het van afhangtThe tax office actively checks whether the company is the genuine owner of its income, so a pass-through company without real presence fails, and banking is easier with a director who lives in Denmark or the EU.

Een vereenvoudigd beeld ter toelichting, geen aanbeveling. Algemene informatie, geen belasting- of juridisch advies.

Een bankrekening openen

Danske Bank, Nordea, Jyske Bank and Sydbank serve businesses, alongside a strong Nordic fintech sector. Opening an account is rigorous and favours companies with Danish directors or real Nordic operations, but once open the relationship is stable and accepted internationally.

Zo werkt de belasting hier

22% company tax. Dividends from subsidiaries and group shareholdings (10% or more) are tax-free, as are gains on selling those shares, however long you've held them. No tax kept back on dividends to parent companies in the EU/EEA or treaty countries that are the genuine owners. A wide network of tax treaties.

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

Denmark is fully open: owners, accounts and real owners are public with the Danish Business Authority. Since the Danish cases at the EU's top court, the tax office actively checks whether a company is the genuine owner of its income, so pass-through companies without real presence fail.
