Understanding the Danish tax system can be difficult. An important part of it is understanding what an advance statement is and how it works.
In November 2023, the Danish Tax Agency opened access to the tax assessment for 2024. Are you sure that your tax assessment is set correctly?
A study from TaxHelper finds that Danes on average have set their interest rates 50% incorrectly. This applies to consumer loans, mortgages, car loans and student loans. And it's not just interest rates that can be wrong. The same study finds that Danes on average have their income set 10% incorrectly, so if, for example, you earn DKK 500,000 a year, it is DKK 50,000 too high or low.
In this blog post, we will explore this very topic and give you three tips to get your tax return in order.

What is an advance payment statement?
A withholding tax statement is an overview of how much tax you have to pay during the year. This statement is the basis for how much tax you pay each month. It is based on your expected income and deductions for the coming year and helps the Danish Tax Agency estimate your taxable income.
