I recently set up a sole proprietorship in Denmark and already have a CVR number. Most of my work is with education and NGO clients, including a school and an NGO, and some clients may be in other EU countries.

I am unclear on VAT rules for this type of work. My services can include research, evaluation, project support, workshops/training, education-related consulting, and developing educational materials.

I understand that a client being a school, NGO, or non-VAT payer does not automatically mean the service is VAT exempt. But I also know that some education-related services can be exempt, so I am trying to understand where the line is before I invoice incorrectly.

Has anyone dealt with this as a freelancer/sole proprietor in Denmark?

What should I be careful about, and do you know any good accountants, tax advisors, Facebook groups, organisations, or other spaces where I could get practical advice on this?

Thanks!

I recently set up a sole proprietorship in Denmark and already have a CVR number. I mainly work with clients in the EU, but outside Denmark, mostly in the education and NGO sectors.

I’m trying to understand the best way to set things up from the start, especially around tax (and excemptions), VAT/reverse charge/VAT exemptions within education, invoicing, and what I should be aware of when most of my clients are abroad.

Any advice, tips on things people forget, and on what to ask or look for would be very welcome.

Also, does anyone have recommendations for a good tax advisor/accountant in Denmark who understands small sole proprietorships and cross-border EU services? Ideally someone practical and used to working with freelancers/consultants.

Thanks!
