Document background
A Cash Receipt is a fundamental financial document used in Danish business operations to document monetary transactions between businesses and their customers. This document is mandatory under Danish law and must comply with specific requirements set forth in the Danish Bookkeeping Act and VAT Act. The receipt serves multiple purposes: it provides proof of purchase for customers, enables businesses to maintain accurate financial records, and ensures compliance with tax regulations. Used in every transaction where money is exchanged for goods or services, the Cash Receipt must include specific elements such as the business's CVR number, VAT details, transaction date, and itemized purchase information. The document is particularly important in Denmark's highly digitalized business environment, where it forms part of the electronic accounting and tax reporting system.
