Denmark High Court Clarifies Tax Treatment of Bank Deposits and Disguised Distributions

  • Denmark’s tax authority published a Western High Court ruling clarifying income tax and VAT treatment of bank deposits, business income, and disguised distributions.
  • A taxpayer claimed deposits into his personal accounts actually belonged to two companies he owned.
  • The National Tax Court had treated the deposits as taxable income and imposed individual income tax and VAT.
  • On appeal, the High Court held the taxpayer failed to prove 30 business-related deposits were company funds, so they were treated as his taxable income.
