As an expat in Denmark, you’re typically subject to Danish tax law. The system can be complex, especially with international factors and special schemes like the 27% expat tax. Relocare Taxation International assists with tax registration, returns, and net salary calculations—ensuring both employee and company stay compliant and avoid unexpected payments.
Moving an employee to Denmark involves much more than payroll.
Tax residency, reporting obligations, double taxation agreements and Danish tax legislation all play a role in ensuring that both the employee and the employer remain compliant from day one.
At Relocare, we help companies and international employees understand the Danish tax implications before the relocation begins—and continue supporting them until the final Danish tax return has been completed.
The best tax solution is almost always the one that is planned before the employee arrives in Denmark.
Early advice helps avoid unnecessary tax costs, reporting issues and unpleasant surprises later.
We advise on matters including:
Many international employees continue to own property, investments, pensions or other assets outside Denmark.
Understanding how these affect Danish taxation—and how Denmark’s tax rules interact with the employee’s home country—is often one of the most important parts of the assignment.
Where necessary, we work closely with the company’s existing advisers or the employee’s personal tax advisers abroad to ensure a coordinated international approach.
Our assistance typically includes:
Knowing how the system works provides reassurance and confidence from day one.
Tax is rarely an isolated issue.
Changes to immigration status, payroll, social security or relocation arrangements often affect an employee’s tax position as well.
That is why our tax specialists work closely with our immigration, relocation, payroll and social security teams.
Instead of coordinating several advisers, companies have one experienced partner who understands the entire international assignment.
Our goal is not simply to calculate tax correctly.
It is to ensure that employees understand their obligations, employers remain compliant and everyone can focus on what matters most—the international assignment itself.
That combination of technical expertise, practical experience and personal guidance is why companies choose Relocare.
The Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen)
The Danish Tax Agency’s self-service portal gives employees access to tax information, their preliminary tax assessments, annual tax returns and other personal tax information.
During the first year, the automatic tax return made by Skattestyrelsen is often wrong, but Relocare assist with making it right. See more here
