What is a tax refund and Tax Declaration?

An individual who has worked in Denmark, earned income, and paid taxes is obligated to submit an annual income tax declaration. Income tax declaration reflects the income earned, taxes paid, and relevant deductions applied according to personal circumstances. If you do not agree with the decision the Danish Tax Agency has made, you can request a declaration amendment.

How much taxes can I get back?

The tax refund amount depends on your income, taxes paid, duration of your work abroad, and other factors. To get an estimate of your potential refund, use our online calculator. It is important to note that the final refund amount is determined by the Danish tax authorities, and only the overpaid income taxes can be refunded.

Will I lose my social benefits/pension if I refund my taxes?

Receiving a tax refund does not affect your future eligibility for social benefits. Regardless of whether you received a tax refund, you still retain the right to work abroad, receive a pension, and access other social benefits.

Can I get a tax refund if I only worked for a few months?

You can apply for a tax refund even if you worked for only a few months (temporary or seasonal employment contract).

How will I receive my refunded money?

You will receive the money in a bank account registered as NemKonto. NemKonto is a system used by Danish authorities to make payments to residents. If you wish to activate a new account in the NemKonto system, apply for activation.

Is it mandatory to file tax declarations if I worked in Denmark?

It depends on your individual situation. To find out if you need to submit a declaration, it's best to contact our specialists.
