Tax return: What to do
You report your business profit or loss by completing your tax return in E-tax for Individuals (TastSelv Borger). You also need to enter your accounting information in your tax return. You will also need to enter the accounting information on the tax return, but which boxes you need to fill in depends on your business type and revenue. Some citizens are also required to submit tax accounts for their business.
If you have several businesses, you must provide a total profit/loss on your tax return in E-tax, but fill in the accounting information for each business.
Once you have entered your profit/loss and approved the entry, we generate your tax assessment notice.
If your business net revenue is less than DKK 300,000, you have to report your business result and complete certain boxes under accounting information (regnskabsoplysninger) in your tax return in E-tax for individuals.
You need to enter:
- Business CVR no. (Business registration no.) in box 300.
- Outstanding VAT or VAT receivable if you are registered for VAT in box 638.
- Select ‘Ja, fritaget fordi nettoomsætningen er under 300.000 kr.’ (Yes, exempt because the net revenue is less than DKK 300,000.) in box 301/302.
- Information about accounting assistance in box 303.
This is all you need to enter under accounting information. And you don't have to submit your tax accounts.

If your business is exempt from submitting accounting information, you still need to report your business’s result and fill in a few fields under Accounting information on your tax return form in E-tax for individuals (TastSelv Borger).
If you own a business with more than two owners, and none of the owners are actively involved in running the business (e.g. limited partners or limited liability partnerships), you must report the business’s result on your tax return and submit the tax accounts in TE-tax for individuals (TastSelv Borger). You don't need to provide any further accounting information on the form.
This doesn't apply if your business is covered by the rules on joint tax accounts. Read more in Danish about joint tax accounts for limited liability partnerships in our legal guide.
