Understanding Your Danish tax assessment for 2024

The Danish tax assessment for 2024 is on its way, and for the first time, homeowners in Denmark will be able to see their total property tax payments on the statement. Approximately 4.9 million citizens will be able to view their statements on TastSelv.

New Property Tax Rules for Homeowners in Denmark

On Monday, 24th of March 2025, the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen) will open access to the annual tax statements for the income year 2024. Around 4.9 million citizens will be able to see their tax payments for the year and check if they have paid too much or too little tax.

For most citizens, the annual tax statement will be familiar from previous years. However, for nearly 2.1 million homeowners, it will be the first time they can see their total property tax payments on the statement.

How to Check and Correct Your 2024 Tax Information

The new property tax rules mean that since 1st January 2024, homeowners have been paying both land tax and property value tax as part of their ongoing tax payments throughout the year. With the Danish tax assessment for 2024, the sum of these tax payments will be included as part of the total tax payment.

The opening of the annual tax statement on 24th March 2025 also gives citizens the opportunity to check and correct their information and add relevant deductions. Skattestyrelsen has already opened for citizens to add expenses related to various services in 2024, such as cleaning, childcare, and gardening, performed at home or in holiday homes.

Maximising Your Service Deductions for 2024

Work performed in 2024 must be paid by 28th February 2025 to be eligible for deductions in the 2024 annual tax statement. The service deduction is up to DKK 11,900 per person in 2024.

The deadline to correct the 2024 annual tax statement is 1st May 2025. Citizens with a tax return form, such as the self-employed, certain landlords, and citizens with foreign relations, can correct their annual tax statements until 1st July 2025.

The first payment of excess tax will be made from 25th April 2025.

EU agrees digital declaration system for posted workers: what it means in practice

On the 23rd of June, 2026, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union reached a provisional agreement on a regulation establishing an EU-level digital declaration system for posted workers. The agreement is one of the first concrete outputs of the “One Europe, One Market” roadmap and is intended to reduce administrative burdens for businesses while improving enforcement of the EU Posted Workers Directive (Directive 96/71/EC, as amended by Directive 2018/957/EU).

How is property value tax calculated for a foreign property in Denmark?
The 2025 rules explained.

If you employ people who are fully tax-resident in Denmark and own property abroad, those employees are likely required to declare and pay Danish property value tax (ejendomsværdiskat) on that property. Many do not know this. Many who do know it are unsure about how to calculate it correctly.

On the 22nd of May 2026, the Danish Property Assessment Agency (Vurderingsstyrelsen) published updated indices for income year 2025. The indices are the mechanism by which the taxable value of a foreign property is determined when no Danish public valuation exists. Getting this right matters: incorrect or missing declarations can result in
reassessments, interest charges, and penalties.

This article sets out who is affected, how the calculation works, and what the deadlines are for income year 2025.
