Manufacturers’ Sales of Goods

Request an extension of the deadline.

The declaration has two parts: 1) Sales of goods and services and 2) Total turnover:

1) Sales of goods and services:

Types of production: Sales of goods and services includes four types of production: 1) Own production, 2) Goods produced for the company, by a subcontractor, 3) Goods produced by the company, as a subcontractor, for others, 4) Industrial services. You can read more about types of productions here: What data should I declare? (PDF)

Commodity codes: Sales of goods and services have to be declared by distribution via commodity codes. You can find them in the declaration solution. Your most used commodity codes will be saved each time. You can read more here: Commodity codes and units of quantity (in Danish) or Industrial service codes (in Danish).

Quantity and value: You have to declare quantity and value for each commodity code (excl. VAT).

To enter manually or to upload? If you have many goods to declare, you can import your data as an Excel-spreadsheet, instead of manually entering it – see below: How should I declare?

2) Total turnover:

• Total turnover includes the sum of sales of goods and services and the discounts, bonuses, merchandise sales and other turnover. You enter the data manually.

If your company has not sold goods or services during the quarter, you only need to declare the total turnover data.

You declare via IDEP, where you can either enter the data manually or import a file with your data on the sales of goods. Data on total turnover is entered manually.

You have to prepare your file, before you start your declaration, if you want to import your data on the sales of goods – see the Quickguide. (PDF in Danish)

The amount of companies with declaration requirement

Approx. 3.000 kind-of-activity units are required to declare quarterly, every year.

How are the companies chosen?

All kind-of-activity units, with at least 10 fulltime employees and main industry in manufacturing and raw material extraction, are required to declare. The population is chosen once a year based on the industry data at the start of the reference year and employment in the 3^rd quarter the year before.

Typical time spent per. declaration is approx. 30 minutes.

Companies can voluntarily state the time spent in the declaration solution. An average and normally efficient company typically spends approx. 30 minutes on a declaration – including access, provision of information, data entry and possible support.
