Please note that the following information is not a complete translation of your Danish letter
Dear Sir or Madam
As a business owner you must declare your profit or loss to the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen) by filing an extended tax return. Since we have not received your tax return, we have estimated your tax. The estimate can still be changed if you file your tax return online via www.skat.dk/english using E-tax (our self-service system - TastSelv). The filing deadline is 15 days from the date of this letter.
Your tax assessment notice will be generated as soon as you have entered the requested figures about your business.
If you do not file your tax return, we may consider it a criminal offence.
You will be charged a penalty for late filing
Because you have missed the filing deadline by more than 25 days, you will, unfortunately, be charged a penalty of DKK 5,000 or DKK 2,500 (depending on your income).
How to file your extended tax return
(Please note that the self-service system is only available in Danish)
- You should have your financial statements by your side.
- Go to www.skat.dk/english and log on to E-tax (TastSelv).
- Click 'Ret årsopgørelsen/oplysningsskemaet’ (Change your tax assessment notice/tax return).
- Certain figures in your tax return have been preprinted. Check to see whether these figures are correct, and if not, make any relevant corrections.
- Scroll down to 'Virksomhedsoplysninger' (Business information). You should enter your business profit in box 111 or your loss in box 112. Complete other relevant boxes regarding your business.
- Scroll down to ‘Regnskabsoplysninger' (Accounting information) and click ‘Vis' (Show). A new window will open. Complete as a minimum the boxes 300-306 and 638. Remember to click "Gem" (Save) at the bottom and close the window to return to your tax return.
- Scroll down and click 'Godkend' (Accept) to accept the figures you have entered on your tax return.
- Next, you will see a receipt and you will be able to see your tax assessment notice immediately after having completed your tax return. If you cannot see your tax assessment notice, please call us on (+ 45) 72 22 27 95.
