- Library payments (bibliotekspenge) received by authors are not subject to VAT.
- These payments are not considered remuneration for a supply by the author.
- Royalties/honoraria from publishers are also VAT-exempt under Danish VAT law § 13, stk. 1, nr. 7.
- The author retains copyright, only granting publishing rights to the publisher.
- Royalties are mainly based on actual sales, and the arrangement is considered a VAT-exempt licensing of copyright.
