The business must repay the loan via its tax account. The loan will appear as a future entry in your business tax account with a payment deadline. You repay the loan as other claims are repaid in the tax account.

The size of the loan corresponds to the amount your business reported on time during the settlement period.

If you want to repay your loan before the deadline, you can send us a message via E-tax for businesses. Please state the type of loan and which date you want to make the payment. Please note that you cannot repay the loan until after 7 days after you notify us. Next, we will change the payment deadline for your loan and you can repay it. The loan will continue to appear from the account status in your Tax Account.

If, during the loan period, the business no longer meets the loan requirements, the loan must be repaid immediately after the business no longer meets the requirements.

If the business closes, the loan must be repaid two weeks after the business’s registration ends.

In order to keep the loan, businesses:

• may not be under bankruptcy, reorganisation proceedings, voluntary liquidation or compulsory winding-up
• may not have provided security or been ordered to provide security under section 11 of the Danish Tax Collection Act (Opkrævningsloven). Read more in our Danish-language legal guide
• may not have one or more tax estimates which have not been replaced by a declaration
• may not have a natural or legal person who has been convicted of tax fraud within the past ten years, and who:
  • owns the business
  • actually runs the business
  • is a member of the business’s board of directors or executive board
  • is a branch manager in the business
• may not have changed 50% or more of the ownership during the period from 17 December 2020 up to and including the loan application date. It is, however, possible to apply if you enclose an auditor’s statement confirming the ownership
• may not be a public institution
• may not be a financial undertaking or credit institute according to section 5(1) paras (1) and (2) of the Danish Financial Business Act.
• may to have an active CVR or SE number (central business reg. no./VAT no.). If a CVR no. ceases to exist (it could be a merger between two businesses), the business is no longer entitled to the loan and we will cancell the loan.

If, on one or more occasions, you forget or fail to make a declaration after your business has been granted a loan, the business no longer meets the conditions. As a result, the loan must be repaid once the business no longer meets the conditions.

Get an email reminder of your deadlines

We want to help you make your declarations on time so you do not risk having your loan cancelled. If you have entered your email address in E-tax for businesses, we can send you an automated reminder stating your deadlines. As a result, we encourage you to state your email address or check if the one you have already provided in E-tax for busiensses is correct. You may also want to check E-income to see if you have entered your email address there.

Read more in Danish about how you give us your email address or correct the one you have already provided.

Re-declaration of negative amount before the loan is paid out

If, before the loan was paid out, your business made a negative re-declaration (i.e. a declaration of a negative amount) of the declaration on which the loan was based, the amount would be offset against the loan before the remaining amount was paid out.

Re-declaration of negative amount after the loan is paid out 

If, after the loan was paid out, your business made a negative re-declaration (i.e. a declaration of a negative amount) of the declaration on which the loan was based, the amount would be offset against the loan before any payout of the remaining amount from the negative re-declaration.

When it is time to repay the loan, you can transfer the money via online banking, MobilePay and Visa/Dankort or Dankort to your Tax Account no sooner than five days before the deadline. If you make the payment via online banking, you have to remember to set teh payment date to the actual payment deadline, or no sooner than five days before. If you make the payment any earlier, it will be returned automatically.

Increase the refund limit to avoid that the payment is returned

When you want to repay the loan you have to make sure that the refund limit in your Tax Account is sufficiently high, otherwise the payment will be returned from your Tax Account to your business NemKonto. To keep the payment in your Tax Account, you can also log on to E-tax for businesses and change the refund limit in your Tax Account. You have to do so before you make the payment. Read more about increasing or lowering the refund limit.

Repayment of the loan may be used to cover old debt

If you have old debt in your Tax Account, it will be covered by the repayment of the loan. As a result, you cannot earmark your payment for repaying the loan. In your Tax Account, you can see what your payment has been used for under 'Kontostatus' (Status of account). If you have old debt, you can pay this debt before you repay your loan.

If your business cannot repay the loan on time, it will incur debt to the state on which interest is added. Interest is calculated according to interest rates in the tax account.

If your business’s total debt exceeds DKK 5000, it will receive a payment reminder. If the business still fails to repay, the debt will be transferred for collection.

If the business cannot repay the A-tax loan within the payment deadline, it may set up a payment arrangement. However, to do so the business must meet certain requirements.

Please call us on ( 45) 72 22 12 39 if you have any questions about the application, loan, repayment, etc.

We are ready to take your call on Mondays 9-17, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9-16 and Fridays 9-14.
