Document background
A Private Sale Receipt is essential documentation for transactions between private individuals in Denmark. This document type is particularly important when selling valuable items, where proper documentation is crucial for both legal and tax purposes. It complies with Danish contract law (Aftaleloven) and the Sale of Goods Act (Købeloven), providing proof of ownership transfer and protecting both parties' interests. The receipt should be used whenever a private individual sells goods to another private individual, regardless of the item's value, though it becomes particularly important for high-value items where tax reporting may be required. The document includes crucial information such as party details, item description, price, payment confirmation, and condition statements, serving as a legally valid record of the transaction.
