All Danes pay income tax. The percentages are high, but it’s a part of our culture – just as deeply rooted as the Danish welfare system. You too need to pay Danish tax, and there may be some international conditions influencing your taxation rate.
When you are employed as an expat in Denmark, you will in most cases work under the Danish taxation law.
You may also have incentive programs at your new work place, which needs to be included in your taxation calculation and you may as well be subject to taxation deductions.
As a relocated foreign citizen in Denmark or a Dane repatriating back to Denmark, you may fall under certain special taxation rules, for instance the 26% taxation scheme, provided your salary exceeds a certain amount, or it can be better for you to pay the normal Danish marginal tax with the possible taxation deductions you might have.
To understand the Danish taxation when relocating to Denmark, can be like finding you way through the jungle. Assistance with taxation registration and yearly tax returns is at must! Not just for the expat and spouse, but also for the company to stay in compliance.
Relocare Taxation International ApS also help’s with home and host entry and exit meetings, to calculate the exact amount that you will get paid from your salary prior to your relocation and acceptance of the job.
We will assist you in getting to grips with your salary and taxations, and to get your advanced taxation registration correct in order to avoid any heavy after-payments at the end of the year. This is done professionally by our own international taxation experts.
