Tax

Litigation

Our services in this area primarily consist of conducting litigation on behalf of the Danish Ministry of Taxation on tax matters related to individuals and businesses. Tax disputes take up most of our time, and the majority of cases involve the determination of taxpayers’ taxable income.

Disputes regarding duties comprise in particular VAT, registration fees and customs duties. The subject-matter of these cases are typically whether liability to duty has been triggered and/or the calculation of the duty payable.

Due to the comprehensive and detailed nature of tax law, and because it is subject to frequent amendments, we litigate an increasing number of cases of a precedent-setting nature. There is rarely a single month in which we do not conclude at least one case brought before the Danish Supreme Court.

Advice on tax matters

In addition to litigating cases for the Danish Ministry of Taxation, we provide advice to the Ministry and the Danish Customs and Tax Administration on all aspects of tax law. We provide advice on a wide variety of issues.

We regularly provide advice of a more general nature, especially in the form of written opinions on complex questions of statutory authority etc. which may have an impact on, for example, how the Danish Customs and Tax Administration structures its practice, but we also provide advice on individual matters in special circumstances.
