Correction period for accurate tax reporting expires February 15

February 11, 2025

In Denmark, timely and accurate tax reporting is essential for both individuals and businesses, with the primary deadline for submitting tax information set for January 20th of the year following the income year, and a correction period until February 15th to ensure all data is accurate and up-to-date.

Navigating the Danish Tax Reporting Deadlines

In Denmark, timely and accurate tax reporting is crucial for both individuals and businesses. The primary deadline for submitting your tax information is January 20th of the year following the income year in question. This ensures that your initial year-end tax statement is based on the most current data.

Correction Period Until February 15th

If you discover any discrepancies or need to update your tax information, you have until February 15th to make corrections. Adjustments made within this period will be automatically included in your first year-end tax statement, ensuring that your employees do not receive incorrect year-end tax statements.

Impact of Changes After February 15th

Any modifications made after February 15th will result in an amended tax assessment. It is important to notify the relevant parties of these changes to ensure transparency and compliance with tax regulations.

By adhering to these deadlines and guidelines, you can ensure that your tax reporting is both accurate and timely, helping to avoid any potential issues with the Danish Tax Agency and confusion with your employees.

Extended Reporting Window Until July 1st

For those who need more time, there is an extended window allowing for changes to be reported up until July 1st, two years after the income year. For example, changes for the 2024 income year could be reported until July 1st, 2026. This extended period provides additional flexibility for taxpayers to ensure their records are complete and accurate.
