Message from the 

Ambassador 

An Open Letter from the American Ambassador 

Brug 

2006 was an outstanding year for the American Chamber of 

Commerce in Denmark, and for productive cooperation between 

the United States Embassy and AmCham. Together we worked to 

ensure successful high-level visits by such leaders as Colin Powell, 

gammelt 

Steve Forbes, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom 

Donohue. We teamed up to promote Denmark as a destination for 

American business and investment, and we strove in tandem to 

persuade the Danish Government to make Denmark’s business and 

foto 

investment climate even more conducive for American firms and 

individuals by implementing AmCham’s well-crafted Foreign 

Investors’ Agenda. 

I am particularly proud of the partnership between the Embassy and 

AmCham in launching a diversity internship program that promotes 

positive perceptions about America within the community of “New 

Danes” and helps assimilate immigrants into Danish society by providing 

valuable real-life job experience. Helen and I, and our Embassy colleagues, have also been pleased to host 

and participate in a wide-range of AmCham functions and events that range from company promotion dinners to 

roundtable discussions on key political and economic issues of interest. 

We at the Embassy look forward in 2007 to continuing our close and cooperative working relationship with 

AmCham’s Board of Directors, Executive Director Stephen Brugger and his fine staff, and all of AmCham’s 

members to advance our mutual goal of increased prosperity for America and her commercial allies. 

Sincerely, 

James P. Cain 

Ambassador of the United States of America 

To the Kingdom of Denmark 

Ambassador James P. Cain 

Ambassador James P. Cain was nominated by President Bush as U.S. Ambassador 

to the Kingdom of Denmark on June 30, 2005. Following confirmation by the U.S. 

Senate on July 29, Ambassador Cain took the oath of office in the Old House 

Chamber of the State Capitol in Raleigh, North Carolina on August 10, 2005. 

He and his family arrived in Denmark on August 14, 2005. 

Upon arrival in Denmark, Ambassador Cain spearheaded the development of a mission 

statement that serves as a shared commitment of all agencies of the Federal 

Government represented at the Embassy in Copenhagen. The statement commits 

the U.S. Embassy to work with Danish and regional allies to fight terror and the enemies 

of human dignity, advance our shared political and humanitarian goals, and 

assist American citizens and businesses as they pursue their charitable and commercial 

interests. 

Ambassador Cain has engaged in an aggressive and broad range of outreach to the 

Danish public as well as government, academic, business, cultural and media institutions 

of Denmark. This outreach has included such initiatives as the launch of a major 

sports diplomacy program designed to use sports as a tool to promote tolerance and 

understanding in Denmark's immigrant and Muslim communities. The NFL, NBA, 

and WNBA are partnering in our efforts. Other initiatives have included 

a diversity internship program with the membership of the American Chamber of 

Commerce in Denmark and an aggressive public diplomacy initiative to engage 

young people and ethnic minorities to explain U.S. policies, society, and values. 

Ambassador Cain has made economic cooperation and development between the 

United States and Denmark a focal point of the mission by focusing on projects such 

as the creation of entrepreneurial exchange and 'best practice' programs, a showcase 

for North American defense and security capabilities and trade and economic development 

tours in the United States and in Denmark. 

Prior to his service as America's Ambassador to Denmark, Ambassador Cain’s career 

spanned the business and legal world. He was with the international law firm of 

Kilpatrick Stockton for twenty years, co-founding the firm’s Research Triangle office 

in 1985. He was also involved in multiple business ventures in various fields, and 

served from 1999-2003 as President and Chief Operating Officer of the National 

Hockey League franchise and current Stanley Cup Champions, the Carolina 

Hurricanes. 

He has held numerous positions on the boards of civic and business organizations in 

his home state of North Carolina, including the North Carolina Citizens for Business 

and Industry and the Eastern North Carolina Chamber of Commerce. He has been 

honored by his community as “Business Leader of the Year” by Business Leader 

Magazine, received the "John Ross Leadership Award" from the Greater Raleigh 

Convention and Visitors Bureau, and received the National Outstanding Community 

Service Award from the American Diabetes Association in 2003. 

A native of North Carolina, he was born in Charlotte, did his early schooling in 

Winston-Salem, and attended high school at High Point Central. He did his 

undergraduate work and earned a law degree from Wake Forest University. 

Ambassador Cain has been politically active for many years, going back to the 

early campaigns of President Ronald Reagan. He served as Republican National 

Committeeman for North Carolina from 2003 to 2005, and served as Regional 

Chairman for the Bush-Cheney ‘04 Campaign. He served as President Bush’s 

Emissary to the Philippines in 2004. 

Ambassador Cain and his wife, Helen, have two daughters, Cameron (age 16) 

and Laura (age 14).

Chairman 

In 2006 AmCham Denmark embarked 

on a new journey, highlighted by the 

October release of our Foreign 

Investors’ Agenda, which recommends 

ways to make the Danish economy 

even stronger. Our journey will continue 

until Denmark is recognized as a 

global investment magnet and a model 

of economic innovation and sustainability. 

There will be challenges along 

the way, but we will get there through 

vision, resolve, and perhaps more than 

anything else, entrepreneurial spirit. 

Entrepreneurship is a state of mind. It is about trying to make 

things better for your business, your employees and your 

society. Entrepreneurs try and try again, launching and sustaining 

businesses despite setbacks, withstanding failure 

when it happens, and seizing opportunities for success. 

Entrepreneurial spirit creates the kind of environment where 

businesses thrive. 

AmCham Denmark Lifetime Honorary Members: 

I’m encouraged by AmCham’s progress in 2006 and anticipate 

more in 2007. I’m encouraged by the dialogues we’ve 

started with key decision makers in Denmark and the United 

States, the relationships we are building through our networking 

and outreach, and the value of these initiatives to 

our members. 

We believe that our efforts will lead to more growth, more 

jobs, and new opportunities for our companies and for 

Denmark as a whole. We won’t reach our destination this year 

or next, or the one after that, but with your active support, 

we will go far on that long and crucially important journey.

Executive Director 

2007 is shaping up to be an exciting 

and strategic year for AmCham and its 

members. We are building on the 

progress of a banner 2006, when the 

Chamber retooled its mission, released 

its Foreign Investors' Agenda and 

brought together key lawmakers, 

experts and executives. 

AmCham is focusing on strategically 

growing its membership while sustaining 

and servicing our existing members, 

and providing added value to 

memberships. That takes many forms, 

including conducting policy-driven 

events with key diplomats, ministers, 

and business leaders, whose decisions impact the economic 

climate in which our companies operate; and providing promotion 

and profiling opportunities such as sponsorships, 

member-to-member promotions, and events at the U.S. 

Embassy. You can read more about these activities and programs 

in the following pages. 

AmCham is strengthening its voice for international and 

American businesses in Denmark. Our work on policy and 

advocacy exemplifies the progress we’ve made. The release 

of our Foreign Investors’ Agenda in October raised the bar 

for AmCham, and its distribution to key governmental agencies 

and legislators has increased the awareness of our member 

companies and the issues you face. You can find more 

information about the Chamber's policy activities in the policy 

and committee sections of this yearbook.

AmCham is also leveraging its global network to support our 

member companies doing business in the United States and 

around the globe. With a visit from U.S. Chamber President 

and CEO Tom Donohue in October, important relationships 

with key Danish agencies and organizations were solidified, 

putting Denmark on the map with the world's largest business 

federation. In addition, AmCham assisted numerous 

members this past year to establish important business contacts 

through its extensive network in both Europe and Asia. 

Finally, this past year, the Chamber made a effort to increase 

its presence in the media, speaking out on issues of importance 

to the membership to gain results. In 2006, AmCham 

received coverage of seven separate themes in national business 

publications. Our efforts have brought more visibility, a 

stronger voice, and recognition for our member companies. 

We hope that you will find the 2007 yearbook to be an 

informative resource for your business. The information you’ll 

find here may even generate some new ideas about optimizing 

your membership. Thank you to our sponsors for making 

this publication possible and thanks to you, our members, for 

your continuing participation and support.

Policy & Advocacy 

As the voice of foreign investors, AmCham Denmark works to facilitate the resolution of issues impacting 

its members’ operations through policy initiatives and position statements, and direct contact 

with key governmental decision makers. 

Accordingly, a series of events, editorial comment and comprehensive policy statements contributed 

constructive ideas about these issues to the business and political agenda in Denmark. AmCham’s 

Foreign Investors’ Agenda and the Healthcare Committee’s Healthcare Policy Agenda were the biggest 

developments along these lines. These wide-ranging reports go right to the core of the challenges 

critical to the investment and business community in Denmark. Here are some details. 

17 


Policy & Advocacy 

Foreign Investors’ 

Agenda 

AmCham Denmark’s Foreign Investors’ Agenda is a 

comprehensive and provocative set of recommendations 

aimed at strengthening Denmark’s position in the 

competition for international investments. 

The agenda’s priority points are: 

• Create a tax and regulatory climate that 

encourages foreign investment 

• Invest in a broadly accessible healthcare system 

based on innovation 

• Reform the educational system to promote 

entrepreneurship and enhance innovation 

• Enhance employers’ ability to attract and retain 

a quality workforce 

• Encourage entrepreneurship by rewarding 

reasonable risk 

• Support diversity in the workplace 

AmCham Chairman Paul Coleman, general manager of 

Biogen Idec, said the agenda, as well as the Danish government’s 

recent 333-point proposal on how to make 

the economy more competitive, offer a chance to 

“carpe diem (seize the day).” 

The release of the agenda was followed up with an oped 

by AmCham Executive Director Stephen Brugger 

that ran in Børsen, the Danish business daily, on April 6. 

From the op-ed: “As one of the smaller countries, it is 

essential that Denmark differentiate itself when a foreign 

investor is evaluating locations for a manufacturing 

or R&D facility in Europe. If we don’t, it’s easy for 

investors to pick the “obvious” solution of larger and 

more visible countries… 

It is necessary that we change some things if we are to 

attract foreign investment. Denmark should: 

Implement lower marginal tax rates and more attractive 

corporate tax rates; increase funding for research and 

development; reform the education system to produce 

a quality workforce in line with business needs; invest in 

accessible and innovative healthcare; and encourage 

entrepreneurship. Our member companies, which 

employ about 150,000 taxpayers in Denmark, stand 

ready to help with that process.” 

AmCham Chairman Paul Coleman 

describes the Foreign Investors’ Agenda. 

Healthcare 

Policy Agenda 

In May 2006 the policy agenda turned to 

healthcare, when AmCham Denmark’s 

Healthcare Committee issued a comprehensive 

report that argued that Denmark needs 

to change the way it looks at the public 

healthcare system if it is to create swifter 

treatment, healthier workers, longer life 

expectancy and an improved quality of life. 

The information generated coverage in one 

of Denmark’s leading newspapers, Berlingske 

Tidende, on June 10. 

The Danish healthcare system has fallen 

behind when it comes to innovation and 

research in medicine and medical treatment, 

resulting in comparatively low average life 

expectancy, unnecessarily long treatment 

times, and a great loss of workforce productivity. 

The report also details: 

• High mortality among patients with 

potentially terminal but treatable illnesses 

• Low usage rate of innovative medications 

• Inferior conditions for pharmaceutical 

research 

These problems result in lost earnings due to 

illness absenteeism and indirectly undermine 

the desire for international firms to establish 

a presence in Denmark. 

AmCham’s report recommends the 

following: 

• Support more clinical experiments with 

innovative medications 

• Encourage the introduction of needed, 

innovative medicines 

• Decrease or abolish value-added taxes 

on innovative medications

Company Promotion & Profiling 

In 2006 AmCham Denmark introduced more services and more opportunities for our members to 

promote and profile their companies including: 

• Sponsorship 

• Member-to-Member 

• Company promotions at the U.S. Embassy and Rydhave 

• Ambassador company visits 

20 21 


Sponsorship 

In 2006 AmCham introduced its sponsorship program. 

Sponsor support enables the Chamber to create highquality 

publications, maintain an informational website, 

develop its business agenda, organize high-level 

events with governmental and business leaders, and 

sustain our valuable professional and social network. 

The key sponsorship opportunities include: 

AmCham Publications & Website – a cost effective 

way to raise brand equity, enhance positioning, 

and extend your reach to more than 1500 potential 

customers, partners, and suppliers within AmCham 

Denmark’s local and global executive networks – all 

year long. 

AmCham Events – puts your company ‘front and 

center’ at high-level events. AmCham events create 

both the ideal starting point for launching new brand 

campaigns and delivering your company message; and 

provide a platform for follow-up member-to-member 

direct mailings. 

Member-to-Member 

AmCham also introduced the Member-to-Member 

(M2M) program, which includes a complete M2M 

section on the AmCham website. Members are welcome 

to share important news, announcements, special 

offers, and event invitations with other AmCham 

members via direct mainings to AmCham Denmark’s 

member database and/or via postings on the 

AmCham Denmark Website.

AmCham website for more information. 

Company Promotions at the U.S. Embassy and Rydhave 

Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy

Rydhave reception. 

Companies planning high-profile visits by 

their chief executives have used prestigious 

locales – the U.S. Embassy and its Diplomat 

restaurant, and Rydhave, the official residence 

of Ambassador James Cain – for their 

company promotions and profiling events, 

organized with AmCham and the U.S. 

Commercial Service. 

AmCham Patron member Struers held a new 

products and strategy session at the Embassy 

in January, attended by more than 40 

American sales and marketing professionals. 

Another AmCham Patron, Verizon Business, 

utilized the meeting facilities for a hosting seminar 

in April. Also, AmCham Patron member UL 

International Demko celebrated its 10 years of 

cooperation in Denmark and looked ahead at 

an event at the Embassy in June. Ambassador 

Cain welcomed the participants, who also 

attended a roundtable discussion and a lunch 

at The Diplomat. Waters and Global Eyes 

rounded out the promotion and profiling 

agenda for the year with events in November. 

Rydhave was the site of high-profile 

receptions in 2006 with Larry Kellner of 

Continental Airlines; Scott McNealy of Sun 

Microsystems; and Steve Ballmer of 

Microsoft. Each of these corporate leaders

products and services. 

In addition, Ambassador Cain, an enthusiastic 

proponent of American-Danish trade, visited 

with a number of AmCham member 

companies for events at their headquarters 

during 2006. 

Such events and visits showcase the unique 

working relationship between the Embassy 

and the Chamber. They also offer possibilities 

for promotional and profiling events for your 

company, particularly when your chief executive 

visits Denmark. The options for your 

company in 2007 include strategy sessions, 

roundtables, panel discussions, receptions, 

dinners and customer service seminars. Call 

AmCham for the details.

Knowledge Exchange 

– AmCham Denmark Committees 

AmCham Denmark’s committee system 

is a key aspect of what we do and hope 

to accomplish as an organization. Our 

committees drive policy and advocacy 

and offer excellent opportunities for 

knowledge exchange between companies. 

Our committees work with many issues 

that directly and indirectly affect the key 

operations within an organization, for 

example, taxes, security, risk management, 

innovation, professional development, 

and a healthy, productive, and 

motivated workforce. Each type of committee 

enables members to identify and 

address common issues, and achieve 

common goals. All the more reason to 

get involved. 

AmCham Denmark currently 

supports 7 committees: 

Analytical Instruments 

Executive Forum 

Healthcare 

Human Resources 

OSAC Denmark 

Sales and Marketing 

Tax and Finance 

24 

25 



The Executive Forum is a managing directors’ 

forum where top executives meet to discuss 

best practices. 

The Executive Forum made its official debut 

in 2006 with a September roundtable hosted 

by Ford Motor Company, which explored the 

challenges and opportunities inherent in a 

Nordic operation. How can companies corral 

and harness the power of various operations 

spread across the Nordic region? 

The attendees – managing directors, mostly 

of American subsidiaries – shared some 

answers to that and other questions during 

the session. The 25 business leaders recounted 

their experiences and shared best practices 

of going regional in a time when most 

organizations are looking to do more, in 

more places, with less. 

The Executive Forum was born out of earlier 

Ambassador’s Roundtable meetings held in 

February, hosted by Gorrissen Federspiel 

Kierkegaard law firm in Århus, Jutland and in 

April, at the Ambassador’s residence, 

Rydhave. The executives in both sessions discussed 

best practices generally, and the special 

challenges and opportunities for U.S. 

subsidiaries operating in Denmark.

Healthcare 

AmCham’s Healthcare Committee is a managing 

director forum for research-based 

international pharmaceutical and biotech 

companies in Denmark. Through our investments 

in research and development and our 

work with the Danish healthcare system, we 

hope to fulfill our vision in becoming an 

invaluable asset to both the industry and to 

the people of Denmark. Toward that end, the 

committee works with various stakeholders 

in Danish healthcare in coordination with the 

Danish Pharmaceutical Industry Association, 

LIF. 

The AmCham Healthcare Agenda was distributed 

to key stakeholders in May. 

The committee met with Ambassador James 

Cain in February 2006 to discuss the challenges 

faced by the pharmaceutical industry 

in Denmark. In May 2006 the committee 

documented the sector’s concerns and made 

recommendations in a comprehensive report 

distributed to key stakeholders in the Danish 

healthcare industry.

companies across sectors. The committee provides a 

meeting forum for HR professionals to consider strategic 

issues, facilitate regular exchange of information and 

share best practices. The goal is to create a stronger workforce 

and an enhanced working environment. 

This year’s committee initiatives included a roundtable 

session where experts and participants shared their ideas 

about how American managers and Danish employees 

can best work together. About 40 HR managers and other 

executives from across sectors attended the thought-provoking 

session hosted by Rønne & Lundgren in Hellerup.

Analytical Instruments 

Analytical Instruments (AI) is an industry-specific committee representing 

the interests of U.S. analytical instruments companies in Denmark, allowing 

its members to work together to achieve common goals. Rune 

Frederiksen, customer manager, Waters Corporation, is chair of the committee. 

Membership is by invitation only. 

The AI Committee’s goal is to build and nurture a professional network 

between environmental, food, chemical, biotech, and pharmaceutical 

chemists, suppliers and users. 

The main vehicle for achieving this goal is the “Executive Seminars in 

Analytical Chemistry” (ESAC), an annual forum where new developments 

and trends are discussed in a high-level professional setting. ESAC is a 

non-profit event sponsored by the AI Committee members. About 200 

industry representatives attended the sixth annual forum held in April. 

ESAC 2007 is slated for April 27 at the Symbion Science Park in 

Copenhagen.

Tax and Finance 

AmCham’s Tax Committee identifies, disseminates and communicates information about Danish tax laws and 

legislation impacting American and international companies in Denmark. The committee works with its members 

to form policy positions on key taxation issues; the goal is to ensure an equitable taxation environment in 

Denmark for American and international investors. 

The Committee came together to consider and address the general message being sent by tax policies to the 

international business community. Tax policies impact decisions of international companies considering where 

to establish businesses in Northern Europe.

an industry award (the SAMMY) currently being 

planned. 

Danilo Copiz, vice president of International Sales 

at Nordic Phytopharma and a key organizer of 

the Chamber committee, presented committee 

guidelines to the event attendees. Copiz urged 

members to come forward, get involved in this 

new opportunity, and offer ideas for seminar topics. 

“The more involvement, the better the benefit 

for us all,” he added.

Building an Entrepreneurial Economy 

Carl J. Schramm, president and chief executive 

officer of the Ewing Marion Kauffman 

Foundation, argued that Denmark has the 

low unemployment and the labor flexibility 

required to start building an entrepreneurial 

economy. But whether Denmark has the 

political will to go the route of entrepreneurship 

is an open question, he said. 

There are enormous implications for global 

competitiveness and job creation at home. 

Schramm joined a distinguished panel to discuss 

this topic at an AmCham Business 

Breakfast at the Hilton Copenhagen Airport 

on January 20, 2006. 

Schramm’s message to Denmark: western 

economies should leave behind outmoded 

industrial economic models and embrace 

entrepreneurial capitalism. 

In entrepreneurial systems, start-ups, universities, 

big companies, and governments 

interact to create dynamic economies that 

do not guarantee security for individuals, but 

ultimately are more resilient, prosperous, and 

secure for all.

Reaping the Benefits of Globalization 

– The Economic Impact of Offshoring 

Offshoring, a key issue tied to global competitiveness, 

was the topic in February, when 

globalization expert Diana Farrell, director of 

the McKinsey Global Institute, addressed an 

AmCham Denmark Business Breakfast at 

Danske Bank’s “Kuppelsalen” in Copenhagen. 

About 70 executives attended. 

Bent Petersen, professor, Center 

for Strategic Management and 

Globalization, CBS, offered an 

academic perspective. 

Farrell and Bent Petersen, professor at the 

Copenhagen Business School’s Center for 

Strategic Management & Globalization, 

pointed out that few global competition 

issues generate more heat and emotion than 

offshoring, the practice of moving business 

functions to locations with lower costs. The

Global Institute, 

tells AmCham 

members that 

offshoring is 

part of the formula 

for productivity 

in the 

21st century 

global economy. 

facts show that every crown spent offshore 

generates savings for consumers and value 

for investors in Denmark. 

Farrell recommended that Danish 

decision makers: 

• Free up the service sector, enabling it to 

compete and produce at high levels 

• Increase work incentives and labor 

market flexibility 

• Harmonize and consolidate regulations 

across the European Union

Donohue discussed bilateral trade, Doha,

Danish Trade Council officials, issues facing 

Danish small- and medium-sized companies 

entering the U.S. market with Børsen, and 

international business initiatives with the 

Confederation of Danish Industries (DI). 

Donohue’s visit signaled AmCham’s growing 

presence on the business and economic 

scene in Denmark. 

During his visit, Donohue shared his views 

on issues of concern to AmCham Denmark 

members. Among his comments: 

” 

“ To walk away from the Doha agreement is like walking away and leaving 

your wallet on the counter. It’s a dumb idea. 

” 

I believe that everybody ought to be 

rewarded on their efforts, their integrity, 

their hard work, their innovation and 

their good luck.

Meet the Leaders 

Launched in 2006, AmCham’s Meet the Leaders events bring 

together key officials in government and industry to discuss 

issues of shared concern. The first two forums addressed two of 

Denmark’s most pressing issues, the quality and competitiveness 

of healthcare and the social welfare system. 

Thorning-Schmidt to AmCham: 

Welfare System Should Adapt 

Social welfare systems must be efficient and 

results-oriented in order to meet the needs of 

an ever-changing world. 

That was what Helle Thorning-Schmidt, 

leader of Denmark’s Social Democratic Party, 

told 90 business leaders, diplomats, and 

party officials who gathered in March for 

AmCham’s Executive Director Stephen Brugger engages 

Helle Thorning-Schmidt in a lively Q & A following the keynote. 

AmCham’s first Meet the Leaders Power 

Lunch event. Some take-away points from 

her presentation: 

• Denmark needs outside-the-box thinking 

to make the public sector more cost 

effective. 

• The current government has dropped the 

ball on research and development funding 

that would boost the economy globally, 

particularly in renewable energy. 

• The government is missing opportunities 

for public sector market economy connections. 

Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Ambassador James Cain at the Power Lunch. 

He introduced Thorning-Schmidt as “a person of style, substance and savvy.” 

Rasmussen told AmCham that while he “doesn’t completely 

agree” with everything in the Chamber’s 2006 Healthcare 

Policy Agenda, he appreciates its perspectives. 

Key Danish Minister 

Discusses Healthcare Reforms 

AmCham members convened in September 

to hear Danish Interior and Health Minister 

Lars Løkke Rasmussen describe how unfolding 

reforms and innovations are improving 

Denmark’s healthcare system. Rasmussen 

said the keys to improving Danish health 

care include: 

Members of the Pharmaceutical Committee posed questions to the minister. 

• A centralized, consolidated hospital structure 

• Preventive measures to identify and treat symptoms earlier 

• A more open, clear and patient-oriented system 

Steen Horsleth, Varian Medical 

Systems, and Anders Bagger, 

GE Healthcare, were among 

the participants. 

• More public-private initiatives, such as centers of excellence and specialized hospitals, 

to make the Øresund region even more of an international healthcare hub.

AmCham Approves Accounts 

and Looks Ahead at AGM 

AmCham’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) 

approved accounts for 2006, re-elected six 

board members and confirmed four others. 

The April session at Deloitte’s Copenhagen 

offices was shepherded by AGM chairman 

Ulrik Fleischer-Michaelsen, partner of Rønne 

& Lundgren. 

Accounts showed AmCham to have a solid 

financial foundation. Revenues grew substantially 

the previous year, enabling the 

Chamber to provide more services and programs. 

Membership grew by 9.3 percent in 

2005, reaching 268 companies by the end of 

the year. Twenty membership upgrades also 

added to the Chamber’s revenues. 

Other details of the AGM report indicated a 

period of significant growth and strategic 

development for the Chamber. AmCham 

projected 2006 to be an active year highlighted 

by policy formulation, a busy committee 

agenda, and high-level meetings with 

governmental and corporate leaders in 

Denmark and the United States. 

Chairman Coleman

manager, Biogen Idec, presented the agenda

private stakeholders to address the key question 

facing the Danish economy, “Where will 

we be in five years?” 

Coleman said that it is important to express 

the exuberance/can-do spirit that has traditionally 

driven American business achievements, 

but to do so in a way that has traction 

in a Danish business culture. The Foreign 

Investors’ Agenda is a way to do so. 

Ambassador Cain Delivers Keynote 

Ambassador Cain described what he called 

the Embassy’s “great relationship” with 

AmCham. He said the two entities are “the 

vanguard” of American enterprise in 

Denmark, which finds itself at the forefront of 

Europe and disproportionately influential in 

NATO and the European Union. 

AmCham Board members: Country General Manager 

Jørgen Bardenfleth, Microsoft, and Vice President Kim 

Østrup, IBM, at the reception following the meeting. 

Looking inward, Denmark faces some big 

challenges, the Ambassador said. In coming 

decades, the growth in the number of senior 

citizens will far outpace that of new workers. 

Cain said the resulting stress on Denmark’s 

comprehensive social safety net is “a cause 

for worry.” As he sees it, Denmark ultimately 

will need to take bold action to address the 

unfolding changes. The fact that Denmark is 

competing and doing well economically 

makes such action more difficult at this time, 

said the Ambassador. 

In a question-and-answer session with 

AmCham members, Cain addressed the 

AmCham ideals of globalization and entrepreneurship. 

He said that education can 

spark the entrepreneurial spirit in young people. 

Still, it won’t be easy: While Europeans 

are “fascinated” with the entrepreneurial, 

risk-taking success of the U.S. economy, they 

prefer traditional guarantees. 

Ambassador Cain delivers the keynote at the AGM.

30 Teams Compete for 

Chevron Denmark won the AmCham 

Cup 2006. 

Main Sponsor: 

AmCham Cup 2006 

The fifth annual AmCham Cup continued 

the tournament’s tradition as 

a top-notch sporting and networking 

event. It was held at Simon’s Golf Club in 

Humlebæk on August 24. Team Chevron 

Denmark won the tournament. Hilton 

Copenhagen Airport was the main sponsor. 

This year’s 120 players competed and networked 

on the golf course’s varied holes, 

including the 10th, where the 18 golfers 

who cleared the water and hit the narrow 

green won the new “Citigroup Drive to 

the Green” prize – a case of Brooklyn Beer. 

The top team prize was four Motorola 

RAZR mobile phones; the top individual 

prize, for the longest drive, was round-trip 

airfare on Continental Airlines to New 

York City and a three nights’ stay at the 

city’s luxurious Hilton Millennium Hotel. 

All players were equipped with AmCham 

caps provided by Sun Microsystems. 

Participant Alan Pitts, managing director 

of Chevron Denmark, reported, “I found 

the AmCham Cup to be a tremendous 

opportunity to meet a diversity of people 

within the Danish-American business community. 

The quality of sponsors is a testament 

to the value businesses place on 

well-organized and attended events such 

as the AmCham Cup.”

business,” said Kaare K. Førby, sales manager,

AmCham’s traditional Thanksgiving gift raffle, 

which generous sponsors have made into 

a dramatic giveaway of valuable prizes 

including airline tickets to Milan and the 

Face painters ‘decorated’ the children.

Partner Events 

Partner Events help AmCham members and other relevant 

partners hold top-notch, targeted meetings and events, network 

with colleagues in professional and social settings, share 

best practices, and deliver key messages to their customers 

and the general public. AmCham provides planning and 

logistical support for these programs. 

Events in 2006 covered a number of topics of direct interest 

to our members, including inward and outward investment, 

how to do business with the U.S. federal government, and 

strategic renewal. Partner Events also provided opportunities 

to meet renowned corporate figures. Some of the highlights: 

AmCham Denmark worked with Børsen Executive Club in 

May on an exclusive speaking engagement with former 

Secretary of State Colin Powell. In addition, AmCham sponsored 

a lunch for Powell at the Ambassador’s residence, 

Rydhave. Ambassador Cain welcomed government leaders, 

key business executives, members of Amcham’s board of 

directors, and special guest Crown Prince Frederik. 

In June, AmCham partnered with Forbes CEO Europe Forum 

for a Speakers/Sponsors Dinner at Rydhave in June 2006. 

More than 85 AmCham Patron members, Forbes CEO Europe 

Forum organizers, event speakers and sponsors, Danish government 

representatives, and Embassy officials attended. 

Experts discussed strategic renewal at the 2nd annual 

Copenhagen Conference on Strategic Management – CCSM 

2006 – an AmCham Denmark and Copenhagen Business 

School partner event. The morning program, which included 

presentations from four renowned topical experts, was followed 

by a Power Lunch, where Ambassador Cain shared his 

views on entrepreneurship. More than 150 academicians and 

business leaders attended. 

Tax Minister Kristian Jensen and Steve Forbes joined a host of distinguished guests, AmCham Patron 

members and key Embassy officials for a CEO Europe Forum speakers and sponsors dinner at Rydhave. 

Jørgen Vig Knudstorp,

Denmark at a Glance 

Denmark is a monarchy and a modern 

democracy – Copenhagen is the capital. 

Denmark is one of the world’s top 3 flexible 

labour markets with a well-educated population 

of app. 5.4m, distributed over 2.5m 

households, with a high proportion of university 

graduates and excellent language 

skills. 

Denmark is considered the natural gateway 

to the Scandinavian countries and the Baltic 

area with its location in Northern Europe. 

Organising Business Activities 

in Denmark 

Business activities in Denmark may be organised 

in a number of different ways. The rules 

applying to the formation of subsidiaries, in 

the form of a public limited company or a private 

limited company or a branch office, are 

described below. These types of business 

organisation are most commonly used by foreign 

enterprises wishing to establish a business 

in Denmark. 

The highly developed infrastructure as well 

as EU membership means swift and easy 

access to all markets in the Northern 

European region. 

Denmark has one of the most advanced 

telecommunication infrastructures in Europe 

with world leading use of PC, Internet and 

Broadband. 

Denmark offers a competitive company tax 

rate and a special tax regime to the benefit 

of expatriates. 

The rules governing the formation of partnership 

companies, limited partnerships, 

general partnerships, cooperative societies, 

commercial foundations, European 

Economic Interest Groupings (EEIG), joint 

ventures, etc. will not be covered. The review 

does not include financial services institutions 

(banks, stockbrokers, insurance companies, 

mortgage banks, etc.), which are governed 

by separate legislation.

Subsidiary corporation – limited company 

General 

Foreign business enterprises may conduct 

business in Denmark through a limited liability 

company. The liability of the shareholders 

is limited to the share capital, i.e. the capital 

invested. Limited companies are separate 

legal entities governed by the Danish 

Companies Act. The Companies Act provides 

for two types of companies. A company may 

be established as either a public limited liability 

company (“Aktieselskab” or “A/S”) or 

as a private limited liability company 

(“Anpartsselskab” or “ApS”). 

The requirements for either type of company 

are fairly identical, with a few exceptions. 

Share capital 

The minimum capital requirement for an A/S 

is DKK 500,000, which must be paid in cash 

or in the form of assets (non-cash contribution). 

The share capital must be paid in full 

before registration can take place. It is possible 

to issue shares that carry voting powers 

exceeding those attached to other shares by 

up to ten times. An A/S may hold up to 10% 

of its own shares. 

The minimum capital requirement for an 

ApS is DKK 125,000, which must be contributed 

in cash or in the form of assets (noncash 

contribution). The share capital must be 

fully paid in before registration can be completed. 

Voting rights may be agreed. An ApS 

cannot hold any of its own shares. 

Founders 

One or more individuals or legal entities may 

found a limited liability company. At least 

one of the founders must be resident in 

Denmark or have a registered address in 

another EU member state. 

Management 

An A/S must have a Board of 

Directors/supervisory board (“Bestyrelse”) 

and minimum 3 board members. The supervisory 

board appoints the executive board, 

which must count at least one person. The 

A/S supervisory and executive boards are 

jointly responsible for managing the company. 

If the company has employed at least 35 

persons during the past three years, the 

employees are entitled to elect additional 

members to the supervisory board from 

among themselves. There are no restrictions 

as to the residence or registered address of 

members of the supervisory and executive 

boards. 

An executive board is the minimum requirement 

for management of an ApS. However, a 

supervisory board is required if the company 

has had more than 35 employees during the 

past three years, as the employees of an ApS 

have a right to elect members to the supervisory 

board from among themselves. 

Management of an ApS is the responsibility 

of the supervisory board, the executive 

board, or both bodies. The number of members 

of the supervisory and executive boards 

may be agreed freely. There are no restrictions 

as to the residence or registered address 

of members of the supervisory and executive 

boards. 

Distribution of dividends 

Basically, only the Annual General Meeting of 

shareholders can resolve to distribute dividend. 

However, a general meeting of shareholders 

can authorise the supervisory board 

to carry through an extraordinary distribution 

of dividend at times other than in connection 

with the Annual General Meeting of 

shareholders. However, the possibility of 

such an authorisation must be laid down in 

the articles of association. 

Only revenue reserves can be distributed. 

Distribution of dividends must not exceed 

what is reasonable considering the company’s 

financial position. 

Loans and security 

provided by the company 

Danish companies are not permitted to 

advance loans or provide security to shareholders, 

members of the supervisory and 

executive boards of the company or the parent 

company. Excepted from this main rule 

are, however, loans to a parent company and 

security provided in respect of a parent company’s 

obligations. According to the Danish 

Commerce and Companies Agency, this 

exemption does not apply to foreign parent 

companies outside the EU. 

Accounting and Auditing 

Requirements 

All business entities are required by law to 

maintain appropriate bookkeeping for the 

recording of financial transactions as a result 

of the business carried out. The Bookkeeping 

Act provides the minimum requirements and 

the tax authorities issue supplementary regulations 

and guidelines. According to the 

Bookkeeping Act, separate bookkeeping 

records must be prepared for the Danish 

enterprise. Under the Act, it is permitted to 

have the company’s bookkeeping performed 

outside Denmark. However, the accounting 

records must be kept in Denmark. In certain, 

special circumstances, an exemption from 

the archiving rules may be granted (only for 

the Nordic countries). Basically, accounting 

records for the current financial year and the 

previous five financial years must be kept. 

The management of a company must prepare 

financial statements in accordance with 

the Danish Financial Statements Act (årsregnskabsloven) 

that sets out format, content and 

standard principles for the financial reporting. 

The annual financial statement comprises 

an annual report, a profit and loss statement, 

a balance sheet, a cash flow statement 

and appropriate explaining notes. Moreover, 

companies listed on the Danish Stock 

Exchange are required to disclose financial 

statements in compliance with International 

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Nonlisted 

Danish companies are always allowed 

to prepare their financial statements in compliance 

with IFRS. 

The financial statements must be audited in 

Denmark by a state authorised public 

accountant or a registered public accountant. 

For listed companies, only state authorised 

public accountants can issue an audit 

report. Smaller companies can be relieved 

from the mandatory audit of their financial 

statements. 

Without undue delay after the Annual 

General Meeting (3-4 days), the company 

must submit the financial statements to the 

Commerce and Companies Agency for purposes 

of publication. The financial statements 

must be filed not later than 5 months 

after the year-end. The deadline is one 

month shorter for listed companies. 

The financial statements of a foreign parent 

company, if any, need not be submitted. 

50 51

Branch offices 

A foreign enterprise officially domiciled in 

another EU country may carry on business in 

Denmark via a branch office with independent 

management. Non-EU enterprises may 

also establish branches in Denmark if there is 

an international agreement authorising it, or 

if similar rights are deemed to be enjoyed by 

Danish enterprises in the relevant country, or 

if permission to set up a branch is otherwise 

given. 

A branch is not a separate legal entity. 

Therefore no capital contribution is required. 

Consequently, no actual capital restoration is 

required if the branch is loss-making. The 

branch can “distribute” profits and grant 

loans to the parent company without restrictions. 

In reality, all financial obligations in the 

branch are entered into on behalf of the par- 

(Left)The Opera House, (Right) Børsen 

ent company, which is liable for the obligations 

of the branch, even after the branch 

may have been closed down. The name of 

the branch should include the parent company’s 

name with the addition of ‘filial’ and 

clearly indicate the nationality of the parent 

company. 

Management 

A branch office must have at least one 

branch manager who is authorised to sign 

for the branch. The branch manager must be 

domiciled in Denmark, be a citizen of an EU 

or EEA country or reside in the EU or EEA 

country in which the foreign main company 

is domiciled. The branch manager can be an 

authorised officer and/or manager of the 

main company at the same time. 

Financial statements and auditing 

Separate financial statements for the branch 

are not required in Denmark. However, not 

later than 5 months after the year-end, the 

financial statements comprising the parent 

company’s total activities must be filed with 

the Commerce and Companies Agency. In 

certain circumstances, the ultimate parent 

company’s consolidated financial statements 

may be filed instead. The financial year must 

coincide with the parent company’s financial 

year. 

Please note that since the branch is a part of 

the parent company, the figures relating to 

the branch may need to be audited by the 

auditors of the parent company. 

Once filed with the Commerce and 

Companies Agency, the financial statements 

are available to the public. 

Hans Henrik Tholstrup 

Formation and registration 

procedures 

Application for registration of the company 

must be filed with the Commerce and 

Companies Agency. 

To register a limited liability company, the 

following documentation must be submitted 

to the Commerce and Companies Agency: 

1. The Memorandum of Association 

2. Documents referred to in the 

Memorandum of Association 

(for example the Articles of Association) 

3. Documentation for cash payment of the 

share capital (for example a statement of 

account) 

4. In case of a non-cash contribution, 

a valuation report must be prepared 

5. A copy of the minutes of the statutory 

general meeting 

6. Information on the names, addresses, 

civil register numbers/CVR numbers of the 

founders and the members of the supervisory 

and executive boards 

7. Copies of passports as documentation 

for EU citizenship 

8. Information on the name and address 

of auditors 

The company must be registered within 8 

weeks of the date of the Memorandum of 

Association. The founders are liable for the 

company’s obligations until the company has 

been registered with the Danish Commerce 

and Companies Agency. 

The registration takes approximately 1-4 

weeks and is exempt from charges. 

Further information is available on the 

Commerce and Companies Agency’s 

homepage, www.eogs.dk. 

Purchase of a Ready-made Company 

As an alternative to forming and registering a 

new company, it is possible to buy an existing 

company (a so-called ready-made company). 

By doing so, the founders will avoid 

any liability for the company's obligations in 

the period from the time of foundation to the 

time of registration. The cost of acquiring a 

ready-made company is approx. DKK 

10,000, in addition to the nominal share 

capital. 

Immediately following the acquisition of the 

shares in a ready-made company, an 

Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders 

is held in order to change the Articles of 

Association and to elect a new board of 

directors and auditors. Such changes must 

be registered with the Commerce and 

Companies Agency not later than 2 weeks 

after having been adopted. 

Registration of Branches 

Branches are to be registered with the Danish 

Commerce and Companies Agency 

(Erhvervs- og Selskabsstyrelsen), before it can 

carry on business activities in Denmark. 

Further information is available on the 

Danish Commerce and Companies Agency’s 

homepage, www.eogs.dk.

Corporate taxation 

Tax rate 

Companies become liable to pay tax as soon 

as they have been established in Denmark. 

The tax rate for Danish companies and 

Danish branch offices or permanent establishments 

is 28%. 

Company residence and territoriality 

Unlimited tax liability 

A resident company is a company that is 

incorporated and has its statutory seat in 

Denmark. 

Furthermore, a company incorporated in a 

foreign country maybe considered a tax resident 

of Denmark if it is managed and controlled 

in Denmark. A company resident in 

Denmark is taxed on its worldwide income 

and chargeable capital gains. However, 

income from foreign permanent establishments 

and real property situated abroad is 

not included in the computation of the taxable 

income in Denmark. 

Limited tax liability 

The income resulting from foreign companies’ 

permanent establishments/real property 

located in Denmark must be included in the 

Danish income statement, whereas the 

expenses related to the activities of the permanent 

establishment/real property in 

Denmark are deductible. 

Danish income subject 

to withholding tax 

A tax treaty between Denmark and a country 

of residence of the recipient of certain types 

of income may provide that Denmark reduce 

or eliminate the withholding tax on such payments. 

Dividends 

Denmark is as a rule entitled to impose a 28% 

withholding for on dividends paid to foreign 

recipients. However, dividends from a Danish 

company to a foreign company are exempt 

from withholding tax if the following requirements 

are satisfied; 

a) The foreign parent company is resident in 

another EU member state or if the parent 

company is protected according to a double 

tax treaty and, 

b) the recipient owns at least 15% (2007) of 

the share capital of the payer for a period 

of 12 consecutive months 

The 12-month holding period requirement 

may be satisfied after the dividends are distributed. 

Royalties 

Denmark is entitled to impose 30% withholding 

tax royalties to foreign companies. 

However, this rate is subject to treaty relief (it 

may be reduced or eliminated depending on 

the specific treaty). 

Interest 

Interest payments to foreign group companies 

can be subject to a withholding tax of 

30%. If certain conditions are fulfilled withholding 

tax exemptions apply. 

Tax losses 

Tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely 

and can be offset against future 

taxable/operating income. Tax losses cannot 

be carried back. 

Danish tax law includes an anti-avoidance 

provision, which may restrict the utilization 

of tax losses carried forward in case of a 

change of ownership of a company. 

To the extent that more than 50% of the 

shares/votes in a Danish company directly or 

indirectly is held by another shareholder than 

compared to a prior year in which the company 

has suffered a tax loss, the deductibility 

of such tax loss is restricted, implying that 

any tax loss carry forward cannot be offset 

against future net financial income (i.e. interest, 

capital gains on bonds and shares, dividends, 

income from financial leasing of 

depreciable assets etc.). It may, however, still 

be offset against future operating income. 

In case the Danish company is without material 

business activity at the time of a change 

in ownership, cf. above, tax loss carry forwards 

will be lost entirely. 

Under this anti-avoidance provision a transparency 

principle applies in case a parent 

company owns more than 25% of the shares 

in the Danish company that has suffered the 

tax loss. In such case, the shareholders in the 

parent company are deemed the shareholders 

in the loss-making company when performing 

the change of ownership test. As a 

main rule the transparency rule does not 

apply to listed companies. 

Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) 

Under the controlled foreign company (CFC) 

legislation, a Danish company, together with 

other group companies, holding at least 25% 

of the share capital or more than 50% of the 

voting power of a foreign company must 

include in its taxable income financial 

income of that controlled subsidiary if the 

subsidiary is primarily engaged in financial 

activities and is subject to low taxation. The 

Danish CFC registration is expected to be 

amended during 2007. 

Filing of tax return 

As a general rule, the income year runs with 

the financial year and the tax return must be 

filed not later than 6 months after the end of 

the income year. This means that companies 

with a 31 December year-end must file their 

tax returns by end of June in the following 

year. 

Payment and collection 

The corporate tax charge must be paid on 

account in two instalments. The dates of payment 

are in March and in November. The tax 

paid on account is compulsory for all companies 

established after 28 January 1998. The 

advance tax is 50% of the average income 

tax for the past three years. 

As new companies cannot make up advance 

tax on the basis of past years income, no 

ordinary advance tax payment is fixed. A 

new company may elect a voluntary payment 

of advance tax before 20 November in 

the relevant income year. 

Tax audits 

The Danish authorities perform tax audits on 

a number of companies and branches every 

year. The tax audits are not done on regular 

basis but are instead based on a random 

sampling. 

Penalties 

An interest rate of 0,5% per month will be 

charged on late payments of corporate tax. 

Such interest charges are not tax deductible. 

Calculation of the taxable income 

Taxable income is based on profits reported 

in the annual accounts adjusted to comply 

with prevailing tax rules. For tax purposes, 

several adjustments are made, primarily concerning 

non-taxable income, non-deductible 

expenses, depreciation and provisions made. 

Expenses incurred to acquire, ensure and 

maintain income are deductible on an accrual 

basis. 

Dividend income 

A dividend received by a Danish parent company 

from its Danish or foreign subsidiary is 

exempt from tax provided that the parent 

company owns 15% (2007) or more of the 

share capital of the subsidiary for an uninterrupted 

period of 12 months that includes the 

date of distribution of the dividends. 

If a Danish company holds less than 15% 

(2007) of the shares, then 66% of the dividend 

amount is taxable at the corporate tax 

rate of 28% (i.e. an effective taxation of the 

dividend at 18,52%). 

Capital gains and losses 

Capital gains and losses are generally included 

in the taxable income. Taxable net gains 

are included in the taxable income of the 

company for each financial period and are 

taxed at a rate of 28%. 

In addition to the assets that are described 

below, a complex set of rules regarding e.g. 

taxation of gains and losses on bonds, forward 

contracts, futures and options etc. 

exists. However, these rules are not described 

here. 

Sale of Shares 

Gains 

If shares have been owned for less then three 

years, the gains are taxed at a rate of 28%. 

Gains derived from shares owned for three 

years or more are generally exempt from tax 

unless the seller deals in shares. Special rules 

apply to investment companies. 

Losses 

If shares have been owned for less than three 

years, losses are not deductible, yet losses 

can be offset against gains from the sale of 

shares which have also been owned for less 

than three years. Losses incurred on shares in 

qualifying shareholdings are reduced by the 

amount of tax-free dividends received on the 

shares. 

Net losses can be carried forward indefinitely. 

However, losses incurred prior to 2002 can 

only be carried forward for five years. 

Losses from the sale of shares owned for 

three years or more are not deductible for tax 

purposes, unless the primary object of the 

seller is to trade shares. 

Real Property 

Gains 

Capital gains from sale of real property are 

tax-liable. In determining a gain, a four-step 

procedure must be followed: 

• The purchase price and the sale price of 

the real property are adjusted to cash values. 

• The total amount of tax depreciation and 

write-offs during the ownership period is 

calculated. 

• Tax depreciation is recaptured as the lower 

of (a) sales price less written-off value and 

(b) accumulated depreciation. 

• Depreciation, losses or write-offs, which 

have not been recaptured, reduce the purchase 

price when calculating the taxable 

gain on the property. 

A capital gain is taxed as ordinary income. 

However, roll-over relief is available if a new 

property is acquired for the use of the business 

prior to the end of the year following 

the year of disposal. 

Losses 

A loss from sale of real property is only taxdeductible 

if the primary object of the company 

is to trade real property. Yet, a loss can 

be carried forward to be offset against taxable 

gains on real property. 

Christiansborg 

54 55 


If a property is tax-depreciable, the difference 

between the written down value and the 

sales price is tax-deductible. However, this 

loss reduces the purchase price when calculating 

the capital gain. Please see above. 

Machinery and equipment 

The proceeds from sale of machinery and 

equipment are deducted from the depreciation 

pool. Therefore, a taxable capital income 

gain or loss does not typically arise when 

such assets are sold. If the balance of the 

depreciation pool becomes negative, the 

negative amount may be recognized in the 

same year or deferred to the next year, 

except if subsequent purchases in that year 

exceed the negative amount. 

Goodwill 

Gains from sale of goodwill are treated as 

taxable income and losses are deductible. 

Know-how, patents 

and trade-marks etc. 

Capital gains and losses from other intangible 

assets such as know-how, trade-marks, 

patents and copyrights are also generally 

included in the taxable income in the year of 

disposal. The capital gains or losses are calculated 

as the difference between the cash 

equivalent of the written down value for the 

tax purposes and sales prices. 

Gains and losses from 

exchange adjustments 

Realized foreign exchange gains and losses 

must be included in the taxable income 

when realized. Unrealized gains and losses 

may, upon application, be included in the 

taxable income. 

However, if permission has been granted, the 

company will not be able to revert to the 

ordinary method of only including realized 

exchange gains and losses. 

Deductions 

Business expenses 

Generally, expenses incurred during the year 

in order to “earn, secure and maintain the 

income” are fully deductible on an accrual 

basis. 

Capital expenditure 

Generally, capital expenditure is not 

deductible. However, acquisitions of small 

assets representing a value of up to DKK 

11,300 (2006) / DKK 11,600 (2007) or with 

a useful life up to three years may be written 

off immediately in the year of purchase. 

Research and development 

Research and development costs are upon 

the choice of the taxpayer either fully taxdeductible 

in the year the costs are incurred 

or may be amortized in equal installments 

over a period of five years. For tax purposes 

costs relating to the acquisition of know-how 

and patents can be fully deducted in the year 

of purchase. 

Computer software 

The costs of computer software are fully 

deductible in the year of purchase. 

Entertainment expenses 

Only 25% of business entertainment expenses 

are deductible for tax purposes. The definition 

of entertainment expenses is broad 

and includes e.g. gifts to customers. The 

rules do not apply to expenses related to 

employees of a company. Such expenses are 

fully tax-deductible. Advertising costs are 

also fully tax-deductible. 

Provisions for bad debts 

Recognized losses on accounts receivable are 

deductible. Provisions for bad debts are 

deductible to the extent that the final losses 

on specified debtors can be substantiated. 

Depreciation 

Tax depreciation is calculated according to 

the following rules, irrespective of the 

method applied for accounting purposes. 


Machinery and equipment are depreciated 

collectively on a declining-balance basis. This 

balance may be written off at an annual rate 

of up to 25%. 


used for leasing purposes 

Assets like machinery, motor vehicles, office 

machines, and office equipment that are 

leased out are generally not depreciable in 

the year of acquisition, but may be depreciated 

at 50% in the following year. However, 

exemption may be granted by the Danish tax 

authorities, allowing leased assets to be 

depreciated according to the general rules 

applicable to operating equipment. 

Buildings 

Buildings used for commercial and industrial 

purposes may be depreciated at an annual 

rate of up to 5% over a period of 20 years, 

using the straight-line method based on the 

purchase price. 

Buildings used for the following purposes 

are generally not depreciable: 

• Offices, unless the building is closely 

connected to a depreciable building 

• Activities such as banking, 

mortgage banking, insurance, etc. 

• Postal services 

• Residence, except hotels, 

camping huts, nursing homes etc. 

• Hospitals 

Goodwill 

Goodwill and other intangible assets 

acquired in 1998 or later can be amortized 

over a 7-year period. Special rules apply to 

goodwill acquired prior to 1998 and goodwill 

acquired from affiliated parties. 

Leasehold improvements 

Leasehold improvements are amortised in 

equal amounts over the term of the lease if 

the term exceeds five years. Otherwise, the 

leasehold improvements are generally amortized 

over five years at an annual rate of 20%. 

Inter-company loans 

(Thin capitalisation) 

A Danish company cannot deduct interest 

expenses or capital losses on debt raised with 

affiliated parties, including both Danish and 

foreign parties, to the extent that the total 

debt of the company in question exceeds a 

debt-to-equity ratio of 4:1 at the end of the 

year. 

Limited deductibility applies only to interest 

expenses (capital losses) relating to the part 

of the controlled debt that needs to be converted 

to equity to satisfy the debt-to-equity 

rate of 4:1 (i.e. a minimum of 20% equity). 

The right to deduct interest (capital losses) 

on controlled debt is not restricted if the 

company can demonstrate that similar 

financing can be obtained between unrelated 

parties. 

Transfer Pricing 

Danish entities are for transfer pricing purposes 

required to apply prices and terms in 

intra-group transactions that correspond to 

such prices and terms as unrelated parties 

would apply in comparable transactions. 

Such enterprises are required to prepare and 

maintain written documentation concerning 

the prices and terms applied in the intragroup 

transactions. It should be possible, on 

the basis of such documentation, for the tax 

authorities to assess whether the prices and 

terms have been fixed in accordance with the 

arm’s-length principle. The requirements are 

applicable for both domestic and cross border 

inter-group transactions. 

Joint taxation 

Compulsory national taxation 

All Danish group companies as well as all permanent 

establishments and real properties in 

Denmark must be mandatory jointly taxed. 

The fiscal unity implies that tax losses 

incurred in one entity can be utilized against 

taxable profits realized in another participating 

entity. Tax losses incurred prior to the 

establishment of the fiscal unity cannot be 

utilized in other group companies’ taxable 

income. 

The delimitation of which companies are to 

be jointly taxed follows the group definition 

for financial reporting purposes. An enterprise 

is a group enterprise if the parent holds 

the majority of the voting rights. Thus, the 

size of the percentage interest is irrelevant. If 

all the shares carry identical voting rights, the 

enterprises are, basically, subject to joint taxation, 

provided that the parent and companies 

controlled by the parent own more than 

50% of the share capital in the subsidiary. 

Statement of taxable income 

The taxable income is made up for each individual 

enterprise in accordance with the general 

provisions of Danish tax law. The entire 

income of both wholly and partly owned 

enterprises is included in the statement. 

Special rules apply with respect to tax loss 

carry forwards. 

Administration Company 

The ultimate Danish company in a group is 

the administration company. 

Liability 

The individual jointly taxed companies, 

including the administration company, are 

liable only for the tax on their own income. 

Once the companies have paid their share of 

the tax to the administration company, the 

administration company will be liable for the 

taxes received from the other jointly taxed 

companies. 

Foreign permanent 

establishments/real properties 

Income in a foreign permanent establishment 

or real property is not included in the 

Danish income, unless international joint taxation 

has been elected. 

International joint taxation 

A Danish company can elect international 

joint taxation, in which case all non-Danish 

and Danish group enterprises and permanent 

establishments/real property must be 

part of the joint taxation arrangement. This 

also applies to foreign parents and sister 

companies, if any. The income in the foreign 

enterprises and permanent establishments/ 

real property is made up in accordance with 

Danish tax rules, and a credit relief is granted 

for tax paid outside Denmark. 

The application of international 

joint taxation is limited.

Personal tax and social security in Denmark 

Employee taxation 

Residents in Denmark 

Tax status 

For tax purposes, an individual is deemed to 

be resident in Denmark if he or she has 

access to a residence, or if he or she is staying 

in Denmark for more than six months. 

Tax liability 

An individual, who is tax resident in 

Denmark, and thus fully liable to pay tax to 

Denmark, pays tax on his/her world-wide 

income, irrespective of whether the income 

originates in Denmark or elsewhere. 

If an individual is not fully liable to pay tax to 

Denmark, he or she may be partially liable to 

pay tax on certain income originating in 

Denmark (more details are given under section 

2 below). 

Tax rates 

The Danish tax system is progressive, which 

means that the higher the income is the 

higher the tax rate will be. Taxable income 

includes: 

• Personal income which is typically 

wages/salaries or profits on business 

activities, etc. 

• Capital income which is typically interest 

income less interest expenses, etc. 

• Deductible expenses such as travelling 

expenses and trade union contributions, 

etc. 

In addition, a special tax is charged on dividends 

and certain gains on the sale of shares, 

etc. (see below). 

Local income tax is paid on the taxable 

income. The average local income tax 

rate is 32%. 

The following state tax is levied 

First-tier tax at 5.48% of the taxable income. 

Second-tier tax at 6% of personal income + 

positive capital income exceeding DKK 

272,600 (2007). 

Third-tier tax at 15% of the part of the total 

personal income + positive capital income + 

capital pension contributions exceeding DKK 

327,300 (2007). 

A special tax ceiling ensures that the maximum 

tax on income is 59%, church tax not 

included. 

Everybody is entitled to a personal 

allowance. The personal allowance for individuals 

above the age of 18 is DKK 39,500 

(2007) and DKK 29,300 (2007) for individuals 

below the age of 18. The personal 

allowance can only be used in the calculation 

of local tax and in the calculation of the firsttier 

tax. 

Personal income 

Personal income is typically wages/salaries or 

profits on business activities. Contributions to 

pension schemes are deductible from the 

personal income. Contributions to capital 

pensions are limited to a maximum of DKK 

43,100 (2007). 

Capital income 

Capital income in Denmark typically includes 

interest income less interest expenses. The 

tax charge depends on the size of the 

income, cf. above under tax rates. 

Deductible expenses 

Deductible expenses in Denmark are typically 

travelling expenses, i.e. expenses related to 

travelling between one’s home and place of 

work. One of the aims of the Danish tax system 

is that employment-related expenses 

should be paid/reimbursed by the employer 

in the form of a tax-exempt refund. 

Moreover, membership fees to trade unions 

and contributions to unemployment insurance 

funds are deductible. 

Equity income 

Equity income is typically dividend and certain 

gains on the sale of shares. Equity 

income up to DKK 45,500 (2007), for married 

couples a total of DKK 91,000 (2007), is 

taxed at a rate of 28%. Equity income 

exceeding the limits stated is taxed at a rate 

of 43%. 

Real property 

Profits on the sale of real property are taxed 

as capital income. A deduction from the profit 

for the period of ownership is allowed. 

Profits on the sale of real property in which 

the owner has been living are tax-exempt if 

the site is < 1,400 sq m or if, due to a public 

covenant, the land cannot be developed. 

Residents outside Denmark 

Individuals residing outside Denmark are 

subject to limited tax liability to Denmark on 

Danish income earned while they are working 

in Denmark, certain retirement benefits 

from Denmark, income from a permanent 

establishment in Denmark and profit on real 

property situated in Denmark. The tax rates 

for individuals with limited tax liability are the 

same as the ones applicable to individuals, 

who are fully liable to pay taxes. 

Dividends are subject to limited tax to 

Denmark. A final tax of 28% applies. The tax 

rate may be reduced or may not apply at all 

under the provisions of a double tax treaty 

which Denmark may have entered into with 

the beneficiary’s country of residence. 

Tax treaty 

An employee stationed temporarily in 

Denmark by his/her foreign employer is in 

principle liable to pay tax to Denmark on 

his/her income. However, Denmark has 

adopted the OECD model tax treaty with the 

purpose of avoiding double taxation, and 

therefore Denmark observes the rules established 

for employees working temporarily in 

Denmark. Consequently, employees working 

temporarily in Denmark are not liable to pay 

tax on earned income if: 

• Their stay in Denmark does not exceed 

183 days within a 12-month period 

• The employer is not domiciled in 

Denmark and 

• The salary is not charged to a permanent 

establishment which the foreign employer 

has in Denmark 

• Depending on the various tax treaties, 

the 183 days may count in a calendar 

year or a tax year. 

The above is provided that the ”hiring out of 

labour rules ” do not apply, in which case the 

employee is taxable to Denmark at a tax rate 

of 30% plus possible social security contributions. 

When deciding whether the ”hiring out of 

labour rules” apply, the following conditions 

are evaluated: 

• The superior management of the work lay 

with the assignor 

• The work is performed at a place of work 

which the assignor has at his disposal and 

for which he is responsible 

• Payment to a lessor must be calculated in 

accordance with the time spent or in consideration 

of coordination between payments 

made to the lessor and salaries paid 

to the assignee 

• The main part of tools and equipment is 

made available to the assignee by the 

assignor 

• The lessor does not unilaterally determine 

the number of assignees and their qualifications 

Danish taxation of foreign 

workers/expats 

Cross border tax rules 

Denmark has introduced internal cross-border 

workers’ rules applying to individuals 

who may, for example, live in another country 

but work in Denmark for a Danish 

employer. This situation typically arises 

between Germany/Denmark and 

Sweden/Denmark. Consequently, such individuals 

are considered to have a limited tax 

liability to Denmark which implies that 

expenses that are not related to earned 

income are not deductible. Such expenses 

may typically be an individual’s interest 

expenses in his/her country of residence. 

Consequently, Denmark has introduced a 

special rule to the effect that cross-border 

workers can deduct all types of deductible 

expenses in accordance with the rules applying 

to individuals, who are fully liable to pay 

tax if the Danish income represents at least 

75% of the individual’s aggregate income. 

Expatriate Tax Regime 

Employees working in Denmark for a Danish 

employer may in some situations be taxed at 

a rate of 25% (the so-called Expatriate Tax 

Regime, the Specialist Regime or the 

Researcher Regime). 

Certain requirements must be met in order 

for this very attractive tax regime to apply, 

for example: 

• The employee must be fully liable to pay 

tax to Denmark 

• The employee must be employed by a 

Danish employer or by a Danish branch 

or permanent establishment of a foreign 

company with legal residence in Denmark 

• At least 1/3 of the work has to be 

performed in Denmark 

• The monthly cash salary must amount to 

at least DKK 60,100 (2007) after social 

security contributions and pension 

contributions 

In addition to this, special rules apply if the 

employee in question is or has been a principal 

shareholder in the company employing 

him/her or its parent company, or have had 

Danish tax liability in the past etc. 

Employees may join the Expatriate Tax 

Regime for one or several periods of a maximum 

duration of 36 months within a 10-year 

period, counting from the first employment 

in Denmark. 

The provision as to the size of the salary does 

not apply to researchers, who are working on 

projects having been approved by the 

Danish Research Council, etc. 

Copenhagen Town Hall 

Provisional tax 

If the foreign employer has a permanent 

establishment in Denmark or if the salary is 

paid out by a representative in Denmark, tax 

must be deducted from income at source. 

The employee must be registered in the 

Danish tax system and must have a wage tax 

card. If the employer has not received any 

wage tax card from the employee, the 

employer is under an obligation to withhold 

60% tax on income at source. 

For the purpose of issuing a tax card, etc., an 

advance assessment must be submitted indicating 

the employee’s expected earnings in 

the coming year. The advance assessment is 

normally issued automatically by the tax 

authorities in November before the beginning 

of the assessment year. 

Filing of income tax return 

In Denmark, a distinction is made between 

two types of income tax returns: a simplified 

tax return used by employees and others 

who are not self-employed, and an extended 

tax return used by self-employed individuals 

and employees with foreign income. 

58 59

The simplified tax return is sent out to the 

taxpayers in March. The information already 

registered with the tax authorities is preprinted 

on the tax return form. Any changes 

may be added to the tax return form and it 

must be returned before 1 May. Changes in 

the pre-printed tax return form may be made 

via a pushbutton telephone or on the 

Internet. 

The extended tax return is sent out to the 

taxpayers in March. The extended tax return 

form is to be submitted by 1 July. Also in this 

case, the tax authorities will send out a service 

letter to the taxpayer with the information 

already registered with the tax authorities. 

Final assessment 

A couple of months after the taxpayer has 

filed the tax return, the tax authorities will 

send out a final assessment to each taxpayer. 

The taxes paid so far are set off in the final tax 

statement, resulting in either a residual tax or 

a tax refund. 

Property tax on real estate 

(home-ownership tax) 

Individuals fully liable to pay tax to Denmark, 

who own Danish or foreign real estate in 

the form of one- and two family houses and 

apartments, have to pay home-ownership 

tax. This is also the case for foreigners or 

Danish non-residents owning real estate in 

Denmark. Home-ownership tax is not 

imposed if the property is rented out. 

Double taxation can be prevented by 

applying the appropriate Tax Treaty. 

The home-ownership tax is calculated based 

on the public value. The tax rate is 1% of the 

public value for real estate with a public value 

of the property up to DKK 3,040,000 and 3% 

of the exceeding value. In addition, real 

estate tax has to be paid. 

Other taxes 

Net worth tax 

Denmark does not levy a net worth tax. 

Inheritance tax 

Assets inherited by a spouse or registered 

partner are not subject to inheritance tax. 

Inheritance tax at a rate of 15% is levied on 

the total value of estates exceeding DKK 

248,900 (2007). No additional tax is levied if 

the beneficiaries are closely related to the 

deceased (for example, descendants, 

stepchildren and their descendants or parents). 

For other beneficiaries, an additional 

tax at a rate of 25% is levied on their part of 

the inheritance. For these beneficiaries, the 

total effective tax rate is 36.25%. 

Non-residents are subject to inheritance tax 

only if the estate includes property situated 

in Denmark or if a Danish probate court 

administers the estate. 

Denmark has concluded estate tax treaties 

with the United States, among others. 

Gift tax 

Gifts to a spouse or registered partner are not 

subject to tax. 

Gift tax at a rate of 15% is levied on gifts to 

descendants, stepchildren and their descendants, 

and parents. 

Gift tax at a rate of 36.25% is levied on gifts 

to stepparents and grandparents. Gifts to less 

closely related individuals and to unrelated 

individuals are subject to ordinary income 

tax, not gift tax. 

Gifts of up to DKK 55,300 (2007) a year may 

be donated free of gift tax to descendants, 

the spouse of a deceased child or stepchild, 

parents, stepparents and grandparents. A 

yearly tax-exempt gift of DKK 19,300 (2007) 

may be donated to sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. 

Non-residents are subject to gift tax if the 

donor or donee is a resident of Denmark or if 

the gift is Danish real estate. 

Social security contributions 

Basically, individuals resident in Denmark are 

covered by the social security system in 

Denmark. Social security in Denmark is provided 

in the form of health insurance, sickness 

benefits, retirement pension, the ’child 

cheque’ (an allowance granted to any Danish 

family with children under the age of 18), 

contributions under the Danish Labour 

Market Supplementary Pension Scheme, 

industrial injury insurance, etc. 

In Denmark, the employees pay most of the 

labour market contributions (arbejdsmarkedsbidrag) 

themselves. The current rate 

is 8% of wages/salaries and other types of 

taxable consideration, including profits on 

business activities, etc. In addition to this, a 

special supplementary pension contribution 

of 1% (suspended for 2004-2007) is payable. 

Moreover, every Danish employee contributes 

approx. DKK 82 per month to the 

Danish Labour Market Supplementary 

Pension Scheme (ATP). 

In Denmark, the employers’ contributions to 

the Labour Market Supplementary Pension 

Scheme (ATP) are limited to approx. DKK 

163 per month for each individual full-time 

employee. Besides, employers are obliged to 

take out industrial injury insurance for their 

employees. 

Social security agreements 

Within the EU, a special social security regulation 

applies. In addition to this, Denmark is a 

member of the EEA, in which the EFTA countries 

have adopted the EU rules on social 

security. Furthermore, Denmark has entered 

conventions with Canada (Quebec), Chile, 

Israel, Morocco, Pakistan, Croatia, 

Macedonia, ex-Yugoslavia, New Zealand, 

Australia and Turkey. 

Denmark has not yet entered a social security 

convention with the United States of 

America. However, a social security agreement 

is under negotiation. As a result of the 

agreement, permission to stay covered by 

the social security system of one's country of 

residence can usually be obtained in connection 

with postings to and from Denmark. 

Social contributions 

payable in Denmark 

A foreign employee working in Denmark 

must pay Danish social security contributions. 

If an individual assigned to Denmark submits 

documentation that she/he is covered by the 

social security system of his/her country of 

residence (according to a social security 

agreement with that country) she/he will not 

be obliged to pay social security contributions 

in Denmark. 

Foreign employers do not have any withholding 

duties as regards to the 8%, though 

they must be registered for payment of contributions 

to the Danish Labour Market 

Supplementary Pension Scheme (ATP) and 

must take out industrial injury insurance for 

the employee. The annual expenditure is 

approx. DKK 5,000. 

Value 

added tax 

Denmark applies the system of 

value added tax (VAT) as a member 

of the European Union. 

VAT is imposed on imports and 

inland taxable supplies of goods 

and services. The VAT is levied on 

the sales price. On the other 

hand, a VAT liable person is 

allowed to deduct the VAT from 

purchases of goods and services 

used for making the taxable supplies. 

Thus, the net tax is the difference 

between the sales price 

and the purchase price. 

The Danish VAT rate is 25%. 

However, certain business activities 

are exempted from VAT. The 

most important ones are: healthcare, 

insurance, banking, travel 

agency services and education. 

Entrepreneurs including nonestablished 

businesses supplying 

VATable goods and services in 

Denmark must register for VAT if 

the annual turnover exceeds DKK 

50,000. 

A foreign company not obliged 

to VAT register in Denmark is 

allowed to a refund of Danish VAT 

on purchases made in Denmark if 

the company would have been 

VAT liable if established in 

Denmark.

Membership Reception and Entrepreneurship Award 

Ambassador Cain with 2006 winners: CSC Nordic President Pete George and 

Topsoe Fuel Cell Managing Director Claus Olsen. 


Annual Membership Reception and Entrepreneurship Award 

In an unprecedented tie, CSC Denmark, an 

American IT services company, and Topsoe 

Fuel Cell, a Danish company, both won the 

AmCham Denmark Entrepreneurship Award 

in October 2006. 

The award was presented by U.S. 

Ambassador James P. Cain and AmCham 

Chairman Paul Coleman, general manager 

of Biogen Idec, at AmCham's annual membership 

reception held at the Ambassador's 

residence, Rydhave on October 10. They 

were joined by Thomas J. Donohue, president 

and chief executive officer of the U.S. 

Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. 

CSC, a subsidiary of CSC Corporation headquartered 

in El Segundo, California, and 

Topsoe Fuel Cell, a subsidiary of Haldor 

Topsøe in Lyngby, Denmark, were selected 

for the award from a pool of highly qualified 

and accomplished candidates. 

The winning companies exemplify the 

diverse sectors represented by AmCham’s 

membership; in this case, global IT services 

and fuel cell technology. The winners bring 

unique achievements to the table. Working 

in very different areas, they have achieved 

notable growth, invested significantly and 

developed important partnerships in the 

United States and Denmark. They have 

launched innovative products and services, 

created innovative work environments, and 

excelled in the area of corporate social 

responsibility. The winners also have implemented 

programs to increase workplace 

diversity, provide worker-friendly environments, 

and support charities and education. 

AmCham Chairman 

Paul Coleman, general 

manager, Biogen Idec, 

welcomes members to 

the reception. 

Pete George, CSC’s Nordic president, and 

Claus Olsen, Topsoe Fuel Cell’s managing 

director, accepted the awards on behalf of 

their companies. George credited his company’s 

sound customer base, and the quality of 

his workforce, whom he called “accountable 

rebels” who are willing to break some rules in 

order to create value. He said CSC sees great 

potential in Denmark. Olsen described the 

challenge of his company’s groundbreaking 

work, and the innovation, daring and persistence 

of his employees. 

Donohue said that by their sheer numbers 

and increasing competitive posture, entrepreneurs 

in “small businesses are big players 

when it comes to global trade.” Coleman 

said that the key to entrepreneurship is hard 

to pinpoint, but is more a state of mind than 

anything else; an attitude that CSC and 

Topsoe Fuel Cell exemplify. 

Event sponsor DaimlerChrysler President and CEO Peter Roos, and his team, display the latest and greatest DaimlerChrysler cars in Ryhave’s entry courtyard. 

Jan Närlinge, The Boeing Company, speaks with 

Tom Donohue, U.S. Chamber, during the reception. 

AmCham Denmark Annual Entrepreneurship Award 

Søren B. Henriksen, managing director, Dansk 

Handel & Service, confers with AmCham’s 

Executive Director Stephen Brugger. 

The award, established in 2004, highlights the significance of the Danish-American trade relationship by recognizing 

excellence within the private enterprise system in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation and global competitiveness. 

The award is presented annually to an AmCham member company or companies. The AmCham 

Board of Directors is the official jury. The previous winners have been Nypro and Texas Instruments.

ECACC Gathers in Barcelona 

Senior AmCham managers from all over Europe gathered in Barcelona, Spain on November 6-7 for the fall 

meetings of the European Council of the American Chambers of Commerce. The meeting focused on sharing 

best practices and included presentations from AmCham Slovak Republic Executive Director Jake C. Slegers, 

who discussed that Chamber’s activities and initiatives on the Lisbon Agenda; and a briefing by AmCham EU’s 

Susan Danger on shared issues and cooperation in Europe. In addition, AmCham Denmark’s Stephen Brugger 

and AmCham Belgium’s Marcel Claes presented their experiences with creating and communicating their 

Foreign Investors’ Agendas, and AmCham Spain’s Glynis Andrews and AmCham Ireland’s Joanne Richardson 

shared case studies. The session was rounded out by a discussion on the recent changes to section 911 of the 

IRS code and its impact on American businesses abroad. 

Meeting dates in 2007 were set for the annual visit to AmCham EU in Brussels (February), Washington D.C. 

(April), and a fall meeting in Warsaw, Poland. 

Brugger also serves as treasurer on ECACC's Executive Committee, joining ECACC Chairman, Robert Simoncic 

(AmCham Slovak Republic), Vice Chair, Dierk Mueller (AmCham Germany), Susan Danger (AmCham EU), Peter 

Fath (AmCham Hungary), and Anca Harasim (AmCham Romania). 

Berit Salheim, AmCham Sweden, Stephen Brugger, AmCham Denmark, and Marc Gaber, 

AmCham Latvia, share best practices during a roundtable discussion.
