Danish VAT rates in the Standard VAT code table

The Danish default data has been prepared with VAT rates according to the Danish standard.

VAT rate number Usage Comment
1 Regular domestic sales and purchases Booked using the gross amount method (VAT included) and with a gross VAT code
2 Net booking of sales and cost The VAT amount is posted directly on the VAT balance account given in this VAT rate number. The reason why VAT rate number 1 can't be used, is that the standard Danish sheet of accounts says that all direct booked incoming VAT must be booked to general ledger account 7741 and not 7740.
3 Purchases of goods abroad
4 Services abroad
5 Domestic purchase of goods with reversed tax liability
