Your tax exemption card states the amount of money you may earn without having to pay tax. Please note that you will always have to pay labour market contributions (AM-bidrag).
You should use your tax exemption card if your income is small or if you are a young worker.If you manage to earn an amount corresponding to that of your tax exemption card, you should start using your primary tax card.
You automatically receive a tax exemption card when you turn 15.
If you are younger than 15 and you need a tax exemption card, you have to order a E-tax password (TastSelv-kode) and then a tax exemption card.
Remember to enter your expected income for the year in your preliminary income assessment.
Your primary tax card states both the amount you will not be taxed on (your personal allowance) and the tax rate you will have to pay. When your provider uses your primary tax card, tax will only be charged on the amount exceeding your personal allowance.
