Declaring tax when working in Denmark

Filing your Danish tax return online

If you pay tax in Denmark, you must also file a Danish tax return. In March, your annual tax assessment, årsopgørelse, becomes available in Skattestyrelsen's online self-service system, TastSelv.

Your årsopgørelse shows your income, deductions and tax for the previous year. You should check the information and add or correct anything that is missing or incorrect.

Declaring Danish income in Sweden

If you live in Sweden, you must file a Swedish tax return even if all your income comes from Denmark.

You can file your tax return online using BankID and the Swedish income tax return service, Inkomstdeklaration 1, at the Swedish Tax Agency, Skatteverket. The service usually opens in mid-March. If you cannot file your tax return online, you can order a paper form from Skatteverket.
