Digital sales registration and SAF-T
ZimSystem provides sales journals, X/Z reports and SAF-T exports for configured Danish sales registration workflows.
About SAF-T
SAF-T is a requirement from the Danish Tax Agency (Skat) to record sales digitally in a specific format that Skat can request. In the future, Skat will also need direct online access to the SAF-T files.
Unfortunately, Skat does not issue approvals for POS systems. If anyone claims that their system is approved by Skat for SAF-T, this is incorrect.
ZimSystem has done everything we can to meet Skat’s requirements, and our system can generate SAF-T files in the format Skat requires. Under the rules, you, as the business owner, are responsible for ensuring that Skat can obtain the required information. We know this is completely unreasonable. If you ever encounter problems as a ZimSystem user, we will act very quickly to correct any shortcomings Skat identifies in the SAF-T reports. We hope Skat will soon introduce advance approval of POS systems.
Which requirements apply to you?
Some businesses must use digital sales registration. Requirements depend on your circumstances. Use SKAT’s current guidance and your adviser to clarify your obligations.
Sales journal
Record sales, returns and corrections through supported POS workflows so the journal reflects what happened.
X/Z reports
Review register activity, close the period and check the figures as part of your daily routine.
SAF-T export
Export recorded sales data in the supported format. The file forms part of the evidence alongside system configuration and use.
Check setup and equipment
We help clarify supported equipment and configuration. Review the requirements with your adviser and make sure staff know the daily routines.
We help with setup. Features depend on enabled modules, permissions, equipment and provider agreements. Integrations and services may cost extra.
Questions about the requirements
Is a SAF-T file enough?
No. An export alone does not establish compliance. Requirements also cover the system and how it is used. Approved equipment is not certification of the complete setup.
Can I use ZimSystem if the rules do not apply to me?
Yes. You can use POS, webshop and telephone orders even if your business is outside the requirements.
