Tax on work abroad

Main rule 1:

The main rules for working outside Denmark

The form indicates when your tax liability to Denmark has ceased.

Relief for the tax you paid abroad

If the tax liability has not ceased and you pay tax abroad for work done there, you get relief for the tax you paid abroad.

It can be either as a deduction from the tax for tax paid abroad or by disregarding the tax relating to income earned abroad.

Different rules apply in different situations, depending on the double taxation agreement between Denmark and the specific country or internal Danish tax rules. You should examine these conditions before agreeing to work abroad.

Unfortunately, SkatteInform cannot accept responsibility for dispositions you make on the basis of this form. But feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Main rule 2:

General rule for Danish tax when working abroad

The form below can be used as a checklist for whether you can get relief for Danish tax under a special rule in Danish tax law. This rule must be seen in the context of double taxation agreements. If these are more lenient than this rule, this one is applied and you do not have to worry about whether all the detailed rules in the schedule are met.

It is important to plan your stay abroad carefully

It is very important to plan your stay abroad carefully. Just one day too much in Denmark on holiday can cost in the hundreds of thousands of kronor.

We do not accept responsibility for dispositions made on the basis of the above scheme without prior advice.
