No action — monitoring only. Do not configure a 0% Danish book VAT rate for 2026; the earlier 1 July 2026 date no longer stands.
The Danish bills carrying the zero-rating of books lapsed when they fell with the general election. The Ministry of Taxation announced on 19 June 2026 that the government is re-tabling the measure — covering printed books, e-books and audiobooks — with effect expected from 2027. The 25% standard VAT rate continues to apply to books until a bill is enacted. This supersedes the proposal reported in issue 2026-W29 as taking effect on 1 July 2026.
