Taxation of K/S Transparent entity if: • More than 50% of the partners are located in the EU or in Jurisdictions where Denmark has a DTT or EIT with AND • The partner is located in a jurisdiction which recognise partnerships as transparent All other cases it is non- transparent and will be taxed in Denmark at 25%
Registered vs Non-registration • K/S Registered with DCCA if the General partner is a company with capital • If the general partner is a company without capital or a physical person the company will be de-registered with DCCA
Deregistered K/S • A company having been automatically de-registered does, however, still exist • If the company is de-registered it gives the client total anonymity • But is it workable????? The choice is up to the client!
