1 January 2024
The start of the Danish tax year.
The Danish tax year runs consecutively with the calendar year, meaning it starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
Mid-March 2024
Your tax assessment notice is ready and available in E-tax, the Danish online self-service system.
This document is a summary of all of your taxes from the previous year. It will show information such as your income, deductions and allowances, and tax paid
From 12 April 2024
The 12 April marks the first date that the Danish tax office begins issuing tax refunds for the previous tax year.
However, you can apply year-round for refunds from other previous years that you were in Denmark.
1 July 2024
This is the Denmark tax return deadline.
This is also the deadline for paying outstanding tax on any surcharges. So, if you want to file previous years taxes, you will need to do it by this date. Filing a Danish tax return with Taxback will help you stay tax-compliant.
This date is also known as Skattefrist (Danish for tax return deadline).
31 December 2024
The end of the Danish tax year.
Any expenses that you wish to claim back between 1 January and 31 December can be claimed in the 2025 tax year.
Do I need to file a Danish tax return?
When in Denmark, it is more than likely that you will not need to submit a tax return because all the necessary information about you as a taxpayer will have been previously collected by the tax office.
You will receive an annual statement in March which will contain all of the information that the Danish tax authorities will gather for you from employers, banks, pension funds, and other sources.
You will only need to make changes to the statement if you notice there is incorrect information on it.
However, if you want to apply for a Danish tax refund, you will need to file a tax return!
Remember, the only way to apply for a Danish tax refund is to file a tax return!
So, if you think you are due tax back, it is highly advantageous to file.
