Energy Island Update

Energy Island project turns out to be too expensive.

Sometimes plans change

Grand plans were made to create energy islands in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in 2021, and we recently saw laws passed to accommodate the project, it seems, according to Danish newspaper Børsen, that the Danish Government has given up on the project as is. 

The project would turn out to be too expensive, costing an estimate of 50 Billion Danish Kroner, or 6.7 Billion Euros, which defies a requirement in the Danish grant regulations that projects need to be socio-economically profitable.

However, the minister for Climate and Energy, Lars Aagaard, writes in an email that the government still intends to realise the offshore wind potential in the North Sea.

Why Payroll matters – understanding Denmark’s transition to a reporting based tax system

In the early 2000s the Danish Tax Ministry had a vision of a tax return-free society. With the changes in 2018 the system has taken a big step forwards, and we are “almost” there. In 2018 the Danish system simplified its tax system by eliminating traditional self-reporting (tax return) and replacing it with a more streamlined reporting system. This change supports the broader vision of reducing administrative burdens and leveraging technology to enhance tax compliance. The new approach particularly impacts global mobility, where the responsibility for accurate income reporting shifts significantly towards employers.
