## Overview

This section covers three Denmark-specific VAT tasks. Each has its own page and there are no subtopics, so the pages can be read in any order.

The VAT Reconciliation report helps you reconcile VAT settlement by showing general ledger account balances grouped by VAT type. The Intrastat page explains how to control whether VAT registration numbers in the Intrastat file include country codes. The VAT-VIES page covers declaring EU trade to the Danish tax authority with the EC Sales List report.

Start with the VAT-VIES page if you trade within the EU, since it covers the registration number setup on customer and vendor cards. Go to the Intrastat page if you need to change how VAT numbers appear in the Intrastat file.

## Key points

- The Danish VAT Reconciliation report shows general ledger account balances grouped by VAT type.
- The VAT Reconciliation report can show transaction details and include non-VAT transactions.
- The report is used to reconcile VAT settlement.
- Intrastat VAT numbers can include country codes through the Customer VAT No. on File and Vendor VAT No. on File options in Intrastat Setup.
- VAT-VIES reporting means submitting VAT declarations for EU trade using the EC Sales List report.
- For VAT-VIES, set plain VAT registration numbers on customer and vendor cards to meet Danish tax authority requirements.
