It this a tax issue, or do they make it such that you now have to
now buy gas in Denmark just going again?

I don't know, Steve. When you fly a European ultralight ( not the US
ultralight rule but more equivalent to the US Sport Pilot) into
Denmark, you have to seek a permission. It is written that foreign as
Danish ultralights are limited by 3,500 ft altitude and 30 litres fuel.
I guess the latter is to limit damages in case of collision and fire
but I am not sure. In any case, I flew twice over Denmark with full
tanks and ... without stopping there. I thought they won't stop me in
mid-air to check my fuel tanks! 
Cheers,
Michel

“I guess the latter is to limit damages in case of collision”
Michel,
I‘ll bet that's right.... sounds like it’s another case of a need to limit total mass at a particular time and place. less mass, less energy..., less potential damage to other persons and property. All well and proper, maybe not generous.
I’ll wager 6.00 Danish Krone ( about the price of a small beer I understand...??) that it has to do (now that I thought it over ) with the need to arrive below a specified maximum total weight to then comply with that countries maximum weight limit for takeoff
The FAA here used \ uses what is called the “Concensus Standards” (outside sources, group discussion and research ) to determine the limiting parameters of specific issues such as stall speed etc., It’s my understand that this is , or is to be, across the board international standards that would help in the development of new comercial manufactured, and then regulated (LSA type) aircraft that would make inport and export more simple for manufactures here and abroad.
Each country might still have it’s own actual flight rules, but common aircraft standards would\should\will allow for a consistent means of determining compliance potential
Steve
