Declaring tax when working in Denmark
If you work and pay tax in Denmark, you must also declare tax there. You can do this easily online on the website for the Danish Skattestyrelsen with a MitID. If you live in Sweden while working in Denmark, you also have to file an income tax return in Sweden.
Submitting a Danish declaration online
If you pay tax in Denmark, you must also declare tax there. In March, you will find your tax assessment notice (årsopgørelse) online in TastSelv on Skattestyrelsen's website. Here you will also find information about what fields you need to fill in. You can find further information on how to fill in your Danish tax declaration at Øresunddirekt when the declaration time approaches.

E-declaring with TastSelv
You fill in your declaration via Skattestyrelsen's electronic service TastSelv. You use your MitID to log in and from there you will have access to your årsopgørelse, as well as your other Danish tax documents. You can also use your Danish CPR number and a TastSelv code to log on. If you forget your code, you can request a new code from Skattestyrelsen's website. Click on Log on to request the code.
When you use TastSelv, you can see the result of your tax declaration on the screen. You can find information on the different tax models in our article about deductions for the different taxation modes.
Declaring Danish income in the Swedish tax declaration
If you live in Sweden you must submit a Swedish tax declaration, even if all of your earnings are in Denmark. The easiest way to do this is to use your Bank-ID to log in to the Swedish tax return Inkomstdeklaration 1 on the Skatteverket website. The service opens in the middle of March. If you cannot access it electronically, you can order a paper form on the Skatteverket website.
