When you buy a home or a holiday home, you have to enter the information in your preliminary income assessment.
This is what you do:
1. Log on to E-tax (TastSelv)
2. Select ‘Forskudsopgørelse’ (Preliminary income assessment) in the menu
3. Select ‘Købt ejendom’ (Property bought) under ‘Oftest tilføjede felter’ (Frequently added fields)
4. Select ‘Købt dansk ejendom’ (Danish property bought)
5. Enter the address or property number and select ‘Søg’ (Search)
6. Select ‘Fortsæt’ (Continue)
7. Complete the following fields:
- ’Renteudgifter’ (Interest expenses)
- ’Overtagelsesdato’ (Takeover date) and ’Indflytningsdato' (moving-in date) if this is different from the date you took over the property. Please be aware that if you buy property after 1 September, you must correct your preliminary income assessment for the year in which you buy the property as well as the year after.
- ’Ejerandel i %’ (Percentage of property owned) (for example 50% if you buy the property with your spouse)
- ’Personoplysninger’ (Personal information) if you or your spouse receive any kind of pension benefits
8. Select ‘Registrer’ (Register)
9. Select ‘Beregn’ (Calculate) and check your changes
10. Select ‘Godkend’ (Accept) if you agree.
We will now generate a new tax card including your interest expenses and property value tax. If your land tax is registered, it will also be included in your preliminary income assessment. Under 'Ejendomme' (Properties) you can see if both the property value tax and land tax are included.
Your employer (or other provider) automatically receives your new tax card and it will take effect from your next salary.
If the distance to your job from you new home is more than 12 km each way, you will be entitled to deduction for transport between home and work.
