Denmark's tax authority uses beneficial ownership (BO) data application programming interface (API) to power fraud and tax evasion red-flagging tools

Denmark's tax authority (Skatteforvaltningen) and other government agencies use tailored analytical products built on the Central Business Register’s (Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister, CVR) public BO data API to raise red flags for fraud and tax evasion. Corporate data service providers ingest CVR data into various software products, platforms, and tools, and combine it with other public datasets to power Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering, and fraud detection tools used across public and private sectors. The CVR's open, machine-readable data infrastructure with APIs at time of publication enabled this ecosystem of use.
