Denmark - K/S/Other jurisdictions

Denmark is a highly developed EU country, a jurisdiction with a standard level of taxation (income tax in Denmark is 25%), which does not carry any signs of a “tax haven”. At the same time, Danish legislation provides for the possibility of registering and using Danish companies with a zero tax rate. Such advantages are enjoyed by companies like K / S, which are becoming more and more popular with entrepreneurs every year.
 
Danish companies K / S with foreign founders that do not conduct business in Denmark are not subject to taxation here. According to the tax laws of Denmark, K / S companies are not considered in this country as separate tax items. In this regard, K / S companies are not provided for obtaining a taxpayer number in Denmark, and taxes from K / S received by the company - in proportions according to their interests in K / S - must be paid by its founders at the place of their residence.

A company of type K / S is a partnership that has at least two founders. One of the founders is given the status of the main partner ('' General Partner ''), the rest - the standard status ('' Limited Partners ''). Normally, the default legislation provides that the governing body of K / S is its General Partner. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the appointment of additional persons to the positions of directors or managers, however, in this case, the General Partner is primarily responsible for the commercial activities and financial obligations of K / S.

K / S company registration procedure is carried out by the Danish business register – DCCA (Danish Commerceand Companies Agency).

  • FIVECONSULT Comment:
    Registering a K / S company in Denmark is a great opportunity to ensure the operation of a real tax-free company in a prestigious European country. In this case, the property or income of K / S without any tax charges may be reflected in its annual financial statements, which may be required, for example, to register a subsidiary in another country or to receive a loan from a bank. At the same time, while creating the optimal corporate structure of the company, according to Danish law, the income or property indicated in the reports will be free from taxation.
    Since the same General Partner cannot be appointed in several K / S, then, along with the acquisition of any K / S company, its own General Partner, an offshore company (Belize, Panama, etc.), is also acquired. Since in the future, it is the General Partner that will have to promptly endorse annual reports, tax returns and other documentation of the Danish company K / S, only the company with FIVECONSULT directors can act as a General Partner.
