Traceability of the calculationexceeded

The estimate must rest on named sources: prior-year income, annual accounts, advance payments and third-party reporting.

CitationSkattekontrolloven § 74

What we provideEvery figure is traceable down to the individual document. The chain of calculation can be walked in both directions — from the result to the document and back.

Completeness of the data basisexceeded

The authority may estimate without those sources where a more certain basis is available from other information.

CitationSkattekontrolloven § 74

What we provideA full census across all accounts, suppliers and product groups. No sampling is used; 100 per cent is the upper limit and cannot be exceeded by any method.

Business-specific benchmarkexceeded

For businesses, VAT data and the gross margin of the current and preceding years are expressly relied on.

CitationSkattekontrolloven § 74

What we provideThe calculation rests on the recipes and quantities of the audited business, not on an industry average.

Official benchmark tablesdoes not exist

Denmark maintains no official margin tables. Prior-year figures and the business’s own margins are used instead.

Citation— (no official tables)

What we provideThe actual mark-up of the business is determined from its own documents and recipes. There is no official comparison value here to set it against — the calculation stands on its own.
