Your tax assessment notice (årsopgørelsen) is a summary of your tax for the past year, showing your income, deductions and allowances and tax paid.
Your tax assessment notice for 2022 will be available in E-tax on 13 March 2023. It tells you if you are entitled to a refund of overpaid tax or if you have paid too little tax last year. Remember that if you are entitled to a deduction for transport between home and work, you have to enter the deduction yourself in your tax assessment notice.
The deadline for making changes to your tax assessment notice is 1 May 2023. If you do it before the deadline and you are entitled to a refund of overpaid tax, you will get your tax refund sooner. In most cases, we will refund the overpaid tax to your account from mid-April.
Please note that you can only get your tax assessment notice in Danish.
If you want to see your expected income, deductions and allowances and tax for the 2023, you have to check your preliminary income assessment.
