Correct taxation of citizens depends on the correct submission of reports from the reportable financial institutions.

The Danish Customs and Tax Administration uses Key Data and Price Information in connection with analysis and control. The data is therefore up-loaded to the Datawarehouse and used via BO-searches for analyzes and control of reports received from financial institutions.
