Document background
A Vendor Invoice is a critical business document used in Danish commercial transactions to request payment for goods or services provided. It must comply with specific requirements under Danish law, including the Bookkeeping Act (Bogføringsloven) and VAT Act (Momsloven). The document includes mandatory elements such as unique invoice numbers, VAT registration details, complete business information for both parties, itemized descriptions, and total amounts with VAT breakdowns. When dealing with public sector entities, the invoice must be submitted electronically in the OIOUBL format as required by the Danish Public Payments Act. The document serves multiple purposes: requesting payment, supporting VAT claims, providing evidence for tax compliance, and maintaining accounting records. Retention periods and format requirements are strictly regulated under Danish law.
