A recent Danish Tax Council ruling (SKM2025.569.SR) clarified the VAT treatment of a corporate restructuring for a consulting and auditing firm. The plan involved transferring all assets and liabilities from a Danish LLC to a new partnership, with employees holding interests through holding companies. Crucially, the Tax Council determined that the partnership and its owners could not be considered a single taxable person for VAT purposes. Additionally, bonus payments made to the partnership owners were ruled to be exempt from VAT because they were not considered consideration for supplies.
