Investment and tax

Do you have shares, other securities or cryptocurrency?

You have to pay tax on the profit from your investments. Generally, you have to make sure that we get the correct information to calculate the right tax.

You'll need to report certain information depending on how and what you have invested in.

Do you know what you have invested in?

Are you unsure if you have invested in individual shares, in investment funds or cryptocurrency? And do you know if your custody account is held in a Danish or non-Danish bank?

It matters a great deal in relation to what you have to report to us for us to calculate the correct tax.

There are many ways to invest. You can invest in securities held in a custody account, for example in a bank, or via trading platforms both in and outside Denmark.

If you have a Danish custody account or trade via a Danish platform, we're usually informed about your investments. You can see this information in your 'Skatteoplysninger' (Tax details) in E-tax (TastSelv).
