VAT Refund Denied: Photographs Not Considered Artworks Under Danish Tax Law, Numbering Requirements Not Met

  • The Tax Agency denied a company’s request to amend and refund VAT for the period July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2020.
  • The company failed to prove that the photographs it sold qualified as “works of art” under the VAT Act § 69, section 4, no. 6.
  • “Works of art” require photographs to be signed and numbered (up to 30 copies) directly on the photograph.
  • The company’s numbering system did not meet these legal requirements.
  • The Tax Appeals Board upheld the Tax Agency’s decision.
