Don't forget to report and pay VAT when you close your business
What you need to know
When you close your business, you still have to file a VAT return for the last period. Special rules apply if you sell or in other ways transfer your business to somebody and don't close it entirely.
You need to include different information all depending on if you sell your business goods and assets or remove them for private purposes.
Here, we tell you what you need to pay attention to when you deregister your business for VAT and file your final VAT return in connection with a closure or transfer of your business.
It may also be as a result of a change of business type.
You have to report the final VAT even if your business had no activities in the settlement period. If this is the case, you report DKK 0, a so-called zero declaration (nulindberetning).
