Open A Branch In Denmark

Introduction to setting up a Denmark branch

Foreign investment is welcomed in Denmark, although there are particular codes of conduct concerning the establishment of a Danish branch; foreign branches may only be established in Denmark if their domicile country provides equivalent business opportunities for Danish companies, for example, countries in the EU or EEA. This reciprocation links to Denmark’s number of advantageous double taxation treaties.

 

What are the formalities regarding Denmark branches?

  • A registered address in Denmark
  • A copy of the parent company’s Certificate of Incorporation
  • A copy of Memorandum & Articles of Association of the parent company
  • A copy of the parent company’s Certificate of Good Standing
  • The statutes of the parent company
  • A registered Branch Manager with unlimited Power of Attorney from the parent company

No share capital is required to establish a Danish branch. The above documents are required by the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency for registration of the branch.

All required documentation must be officially notarised and translated into Danish by a certified translator.

 

What are the accounting requirements for a Denmark Branch?

The branch must register with the Danish Tax Authorities for VAT and registration purposes. VAT and tax returns may be required to be filed monthly.

Audited financial statements are not required to be presented by the branch company, but an annual report must be recorded with the Commerce and Companies Agency.
