Remember to tell us about your non-Danish income

 

When you live in Denmark and have non-Danish income, you have to inform us - even if you have paid tax outside Denmark and even if the information is already stated in E-tax. 

Income from outside Denmark includes:

  • Salary from a non-Danish employer
  • Pension from a non-Danish pension scheme
  • Income from interests or non-Danish accounts or investments
  • Income from property

Remember to check an update your preliminary income for 2026. You can do that in E-tax  from 11 November.
